Yeah, pretty tacky to do that. Needs a paint job too...looks like mine does with the paint. Just need to save the $ to get it done.

Guy must not realize the fascia tag cover comes off so you can mount the plate there.

I'm telling myself they did that just so that it could pass the auction block and it's a double-stick tape and not wood screws or something.

California is too, loosely enforced, and actually they sometimes will give you a verbal on (moderate) speed and write you the $20 fix-it on the plate and they still look like they're doing their jobs on paper. As a result, leaving it off our cars has gotten my wife and I out of a couple tickets (with points)
