You can also buy either a factory black plastic surround piece that the license plate fits into or some vendors offer body colored ones that make it a bit more presentable.

I have my plate underneath the opaque cover which is held on by velcro. If stopped, I can remove it right there and the plate is in place. We will have to see if the cop holds of on ticket.

That looks just great but, it won't fly in MASS either. I'm still looking for the insert that goes around the plate. Don't want to spend $100. if I can get away a little cheaper.Dave

I also got this idea from a previous forum thread (thank you). I was concerned that covering the top would leave me vulnerable to a "partially obscured" problem, so I left the top of the plate more open than Luster did on his. I'm not completely happy with it, but it looks fine and complies with the law.
