Talking Here's my Tow Hook License Plate Mount!

I kinda like it but of course no front plate is best and I'm not drilling my new bumper, so this is it!

Were you actually pulled over for no front plates? If not, I'd just use this as needed for clearing the fix it ticket.

That's the same one I got. I wish I didn't have to run with a front plate.

How does it hold up in automatic car washes?

Auto car wash? You have to be kidding! Anyway, it sounds like this mount is easy to remove and re-install. So if you do go to the auto wash, you just take it off and toss it in the trunk. Just don't forget to put it back on.

Feel sorry for you folks in the front plate states! Drilling those holes has to hurt. I know, my GSh came from Cali!

Is that you're "real" license plate? If so, you are the man! That is awesome. If it's just a "toy" plate....that would make sense.

Yeah, we can only have 6 letters/numbers here...it's pretty ridiculous. Not too many plates you can do with six characters.

Here in Texas, they let you do 6, and there's a special plate with a T on the left side you can add 6 letters to. Once in awhile they hold some goofy auction for 3 days and let you pick a 7 letter plate. I don't get why they have all these limitations, probably just to generate revenue.

I personally hate those side mounted plates. I think the plate just in the front where its supposed to go looks less obvious, less out of place. Everybody is going to see that and know something isn't right.

If you want to have it on there sometimes and not others, I'd get this:
