If you want to get rid of the holes, try BumperPlugs.com. They sell the plugs prepainted to match your car. I'm waiitng for mine to show up in the next couple of days. Then the plate is history (well in the garage anyway).

Wow Dave, you must have police that are either nice, or lazy. If I told a cop that, he would make a point of ticketing me every time he saw me.

let me guess... small town/suburban cop?

Whenever I drive through a big city here in NJ or even Manhattan (tunnel cops) they barely bat an eye.

Actually I haven't had my car inspected in nearly 3 years.
I don't feel like getting failed for mildly tinted windows, to then pay $100 to have them reinstalled.... and I can't find the front plate to at least fake it for the inspection.

Yeah, small town. Even the local State Police have an attitude like: "respect my authority! " , to quote Erik Cartman.

VA Congress had a bill this year to get rid of the front tag...killed in committee or some such crap. Anyway, I've got a Rennline tow hook, and I jimmied a tag mount to fit that. The tag's been pretty beaten up by autocross cones.

You're suppose to go around the cones - not through them.
