Help - Simple Question.
I know this is probably a combo of me not thinking or being to **** retentive but how do you remove the front plate cover? It appears that for the top you just press down to pull out a tab. Is the bottom similar? Need to get the car inspected in NJ and put it on. Also will the cover fit back on over an affixed front plate? Figured I just keep it on underneath in case I get pulled over and will use the old forgot to remove after that last car show excuse.
Thanks....
Thanks....

2 small phiillips screws under the cover plate. You can see where they attach in the front shot in Your Photos. 
BTW - If you are in a state that requires the front plate, I HIGHLY recommend the Smoothie from Kewl, Inc. They paint to match your car and deliver in 5-7 days.

No plate, plates are for eating food off of.

there is a way to add velcro to the whole setup so you can easily remove and put on the front cover over your plate.
I will have to look it up though.
BTW - where by the shore do you live? Maybe we are neighbors...

I did that "Velcro Mod" before I went to the Smoothie. Still have it availble for when I vacation out of state. Unfortnately, LEO here in Ohio have no sense of humor
when it comes to front license plates, so I ordered the Smoothie.

Of course, in reality, it's PITA no matter what when you have to run that front plate...
