Default Front Plates (Not License Plates)

I know it cuts down on the air flow, but am considering a snappy front plate.

So, do you have one? Source?

Be my guest... :thumbs:

I saw it in a Hot Rod Mag a bunch of years ago. They built a 57 chevy up to a killer street maching, and then drove it across the country to a car show on the other coast. This was painted across the front axel which was about 3 inches off the ground.

The purpose was to show that you could build a monster, and still use it for normal use....
