Save yourself a dumb ticket and put on a front plate! Gotta make is semi decent though...

In California it is the law to have a front license plate. Lots of people still drive without one but this is just an opportunity for law enforcement to pull you over for probable cause while in disguise it's more of a 'fishing expedition' on you. Also areas like in Los Angeles have the meter maids who will just ticket you while parked. That's $20-60 gone from your pocket.

I like anybody else wants their car to look clean and modern as possible but I refuse to pay a frivolous expense.

it seems to be a copy of this one: original model?



Check out my video about this install.

You can see my old blogpost about the Cravenspeed model which is nicely built but not adjustable: Cravenspeed plate relocator on Golf R

I really like the option of height and angle to conform to the bumper. It just eases the pain.

I've had my personalized plates for a few years and on 3 cars.

I found out earlier this year that DMV approved the 1960's style legacy plates so I placed my order.

Exactly 3 months later they arrived.

I hate drilled holes in bumpers so I made sure that the dealer didn't touch it.

I got a good deal on a cravenspeed plate holder from a forum member and it was new in box.

Installation was simple and looks to be a quality piece. the only thing is it would look better towards the center a little more but check out my video for my explanation.
