Tell your parents you'll put it on when you get pulled over for it but if you really want to, just zip tie it like everyone else said. Front license plate are for weenies jk

That Rho-plate does look clean...too bad I already have bumper plugs. This could haved been an option and prevent the hole in the first place...but I might get it anyways cuz it looks cool + be legal!!!

the rho-plate screws into where the tow hook goes.

i'd be worried about leaving it on there when i park my car in public places.

thats exactly one thing i worry about too.. maybe u could rig something like a line that will make it harder to rotate the whole plate. because it just unscrews...theres plenty of holes on the plate that holds the license plate, maybe its possible to rig some metal wire going thru it and back into where the tow hook is so its just not so simple as twisting off. just an idea =\ cuz thats whats kinda making me double think buying it

They have a manual one too, but I was planning to buy the motorized one when I save a little cash

only thing I'm worried about is ripping off my front plate when I scrape my front bumper on stuff...which happens a lot
