I was going to paint a front clear acrylic cover to match the car and run it on the front. When I removed the cover, this is what I see. I'm sure I'm missing something. The only thing behind the cover is a foam gasket. Isn't there supposed to be a blank plate? I don't see any way to make it work like this.
Somebody has modified the car. When the front plate beauty cover is removed there should be a portion of the fascia that has a mount setup to put a plate. This area is frequently cut up to allow more air to enter the front fascia.
EDIT: Here you go. This is what it's supposed to look like when you remove the front license plate cover.

What won't work is being able to attach a license plate, but you're still able to attach the cover you're planning to paint (just like the cover that was previously there).
But that is what I want to do, attach a license plate. I was going to paint the area of the acrylic cover surrounding the plate to match the car.

If you go with option 2 above, I would use a patch of Velcro instead of double sided tape. You could have one heck of a time getting the plate off to put on new registration decals if you use double sided tape, depending on how much tape you use.

Question about front plate cover
