Lol, no, im not old at all...

I think it woild of looked better if it was wider, but we'll have to wait for paint to see the final results? Why do you need a tag anyways, you shouldnt have to run one up front....

Gotta have it in California. Got a ticket in my t-bird SC for no front plate. Wider would have been alot harder. I used the natural lines from where the plate inset was to make it like it is.

well, here's how i see it, the only time you need plates is when some ***** cop is behind you running your tags or if you are fleeing from an accident/crime. the people will be looking at the rear of your car. have you ever tried reading the plate off the front of a moving vehicle? it doesn't work too well, can be done, but like i said, most of the time you will read the rear plate. sheer gayness and the DMV waning more money to be even slower.

Looks clean and functional. I like the idea that you can remove the whole mount quickly. So if you are showing it, you can take it off with no visible mounting tabs, and it looks real clean. Nice idea.
I keep the front plate for one of my cars under the passenger seat. If I get the evil eye, I toss it up on the dash board. So far I haven't failed the "attitude test" and have not received a ticket, although I've come close a couple of times.

Looks good man... I know you need to put thin coats in order to get the surface right. Many think any bondo on a car is bad, shows you what they know about body work.

Keep up the good work..

That is a door skin. What you think door skins are perfect out of the box? Not! Here she is primed up and getting a bath.

We keep using the word Bondo. That is a name brand for body filler. Don't body shops use a better filler brand than Bondo?
