Default Front tag mount cover?

Wondering if anyone has thought about this before, doing something like this for the LS's? I know they sell "half-plates" however I cant find anything good looking...

Like this "plate"?



But for ours haha:

I run a half plate in the warmer months, here in MD. Will be finding another solution to this, as my car gets ALOT of attention and I was getting pulled over frequently for no front tag. Have been very lucky to not receive a ticket, just a friendly warning. In most cases, the cop was more interested in the mods to the car, since mine stands out from others like it in my area. This pic is from a car show that I made an appearance at in Carlisle, this past May, with my fellow NELOC crew.

I like the half plate kinda, however not a fan on how it fits. Also I have a PE LS and I can't get matching logos (I could paint I know but meh).

Also with the custom cut/logo'd one we could get different things printed. Kinda redundant to have two L's on the front...
