I just ordered one from Eckler's for ~$28 or so...

Going to paint it Torch Red the same way CF member YELLOH (sp?) did his. Preserves the lines of the front while showing enough license plate to keep the LEO's happy.

I'll post pics as soon as I get it put on.

I've seen them in both the above catalogs - a little paint on the inside like on the one shown by 14U2ENV and they look good on the car.

Default Paint it on the inside

I have one of these in Massachusetts, painted mine Pewter.

I painted my window border on the inside so that it kept the exposed outside surface clean looking.

Just mask an outline of the area and make sure you give it several coats of paint as the clear plastic is a little hard to cover completely.

FYI, c5firstimer.

I just got one from PFYC it was on sale for $24- plus $8 shipping. It's pretty flimsy but fits good and took paint well.
