Just have not got around to installing mine yet. I'll get to one of these days, I'm sure.

I paid about $45-50 bucks for it. Since then, a few other copies came out from other companies as well.

If you do a google search for them you will not only find where to buy them but also some related versions as well.

I have not seen one of those in person. Pictures may not do it justice but all the onces I have seen in photos made the plate look out of place. Again, maybe different in person. Of course personal preference comes into play as well.

FWIW, I moved from California to Georgia and solved a whole bunch of California specific problems at once, and having a front plate was one of them for sure.

Which one you guys thing is better?
I went with the grimmspeed since it has a plate you mount the license plate to and I thought it would keep the license plate from bending. I really like how it looks (for having a front plate anyway...).

not to sound like a cheap *** but holy shizzzz, seems like a whole lot of $ for a piece of metal that is an eye sore for such a beautiful front end just to put my ugly front plate on...damn you Texas law!

gotten a number of tickets for no front plate but I just pop it on, take a pic, show it to the judge & dismissed

I am telling you, go with the hide a plate and mount from the center below the car. It is by far the least obnoxious option and you can flip it underneath or have it pulled out to display at any given moment.
