front plate options?
Where I live I need to have a plate on the front as well.
Are there any options of something to buy that will fill in that 'niche' that the plate alone leaves open?
I've seen what's called the 'smoothie' plate cover which I like - but would like it in smoked or tinted slightly.
thanks

This guy has the best looking front plate I've seen yet. If you have to have one, that's a very nice design. Not sure who makes it but you could ask him. Thankfully I don't need one here though.

Man I hate that...
There aren't many things I brag on about Michigan, but this is definitely one of them. ONE plate only, in the back, as God intended it.
Most cars look SO much better without a plate up front...but...if you must, James definitely has a nice set up as said above. So does Toque...

I wonder if anyone has hydro-dipped their plate image onto the front plate cover... I wonder if that would be legal...?
