Front license plate mount..
Gahh, got pegged by the police for speeding and no front plate. Decided to mount it behind my screen and it doesn't look too bad.
I thought I'd share the picture incase anyone was looking for ideas to mount a front plate (excuse the iPhone picture, I only had my phone on me at the time).
I still don't really like how it looks, but it meant the difference between an $80 no front plate ticket and a $10 no front plate ticket. As for the speeding ticket.. welp, you do the crime you do the time. Luckily I don't speed much on the drive home and he pegged me as I was passing someone, so it's not really that bad of a ticket.

Frank....
Said it before, gotta say it again, NICE CAR

Didn't mean to hijack the thread.....bummer about the tickets.
I like what you did with the plate.
I installed my plate and used velcro to attach the cover over it.
If I get pulled over for no plate I'm going to say I just came from a show and forgot to remove the cover.
I get more thumbs up from cops than hassles.
Only been stopped once, for going thru a red light, I told him I saw it has orange......
He laughed, thanked me for stopping and said "have a nice day"

Actually looks pretty good. Sent you a PM on where you got the front license plate cover.
