Begrudgingly (sp?) I mounted my front plate the other day. Here is how I did it without making more holes. (I already had the 3 from the bracket which mysteriously disappeared.) I took the plate and lined the back with self adhesive felt. next i outlined the back of the frame with 3/8" thick and 1 inch wide foam tape (door/window weather stripping stuff.) Next I drilled 3 holes in the plate corresponding to the 3 on the bumper and used the plastic pronged push pins to attach it to the bumper. The pins I am talking about are the same kind that FURD uses to attach the ground effects of the SVT. Anyhow, I cut the foam outline to match the curvature of the bumper and just pressed it in the existing holes. Next I used a plain old black metal frame finish the edges of the plate. Voila! Cheap, easy, and most importantly, REVERSIBLE. All parts came from my local ACE hardware, and it looks much better than stock.

I got the ticket on US 20 right after I got of of I90 at the Hampshire/Marengo Exit. It was a Kane county cop. Damn ******* was a prick about it too. Lately I have been taking US20/IL176 to avoid a further run in with the law. BTW, where do you drive on a daily basis?

It is not a Fix-it-ticket for me--the cop came up to me and said 'I'm giving you a citation for improper display of vehicle registration' --no questions asked. Now I'm off to defensive driving class and out $105. You would think he should be chasing drug dealers or murderers instead of 1 plate bandits...
thanx for letting me vent once again...
