Started the day off like this:


After some pulling:


Added some black vinyl (didn't want to paint just yet)



Finished it up:

looks good, gotta love the front plate law although i refuse to install mine. only 1 warning so far. If i ever did, would probably put it underneath on the air dam

They aim at the plates when radaring. An oncoming car would be super hard to get a reading off of if you didn't have a front plate.

so in the states where no front plate is required, they catch you speeding from the front how?

radar works by largest, fastest,closest object. dont see why they would aim at one of the smallest pieces on your car.
