Default Front plate bracket opinions

So I made the front valance into a R style as you can see. Since I'm in Cali I have to run a front plate. This is what I came up with. I would rather run without a plate but I don't need any excuses to get pulled over. Watcha think?

Ok that is weird. The thumbnail doesn't have the plate blacked out but when you open it the black out is there. Oh well I don't think anyone will track me down from my plate number.

I haven't seen the movie but I was sure someone would say that. I saw the pics someone put up here of the car and that is the first thing I thought. I've been want to to do that for 20 years and this is the first time I have had the guts to try it.

I'm wondering if I will ever get to that point. Trying to get primer on the other side today.

Damn bro, looks like you still have a lot of finishing sanding to do. That driver's door looks like bondo city from the pic.
