So I took off the front plate over the weekend but I am left with those two ugly holes and it's makes washing my car so much harder and I almost cut myself.So, I am thinking of putting the plate mount back on but use something else for the plate.What are some of your ideas?I was thinking of those name plates that show cars have in car shows.... one that says VIBE.ps. no sports teams though.Thanks a lot guys

Use your ink jet printer and print out a custom one. Then take it to Kinkos and have it laminated. You could make it say "Vibe" or "huy397" or whatever trips your trigger!

There is a really neat cover that you can get to hide the holes. It's a little "VIBE" thing, it is only about an inch wide and it goes over the holes. If someone knows what I'm talking about, please describe it better.

I tried to look for it on Google but I don't even know what I am looking for.thanks a lot guys for your input

From what I have heard, your front license plate helps reflect police radar back to them for a good read on your speed.I took mine off in the first week, and yep ugly holes!

unfortunately, they are required by law here. must have both front and rear license plates.

thats too bad!in Kansas, rear tag only.kinda lucky here.

right now i'm debating on getting rid of my bug guard. it doesn't seem to do too much guarding from bugs or rocks. but i know as soon as i take it off, i'll get clobbered w/ rocks! of course i have too many rock chips in my windshield to count, so maybe it won't matter.

i like it, i would keep it on.i am thinking of a pontiac front end protector(bra) for mine.I found them for sale for $66.00.

well it will help protect the front end, but i like monotone... i don't like having that black funny looking piece of plastic or fake leather bra ruining the nice lines of my car.

Time for the 3M treatment, eh?

i would only put it on if i was driving cross country.i dont think i would keep it on all the time.

what is the 3m teatment may i ask?

it's like a clear protective film that goes over the front of the car. mavrik has a clear "bra" on his that goes up about a foot on his hood. you can't really see it unless you look real close. but i'd have done the whole front end and the entire hood, including the strip above the windshield! LOLheck! just get the whole damn car wrapped in that stuff!

how is the 3m applied?I had a beater 75 Chevy maibu that was rusted out.i thought about painting the whole car with undercoating! Never did, just Krylon white.

i think it sticks on or something. like giant clear adhesive.
