So this year im not going to be in the mood for the piggies fcuking with me about my lack of a frt plate, or having it in the windshield… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/jeller/DSC00002.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/jeller/DSC00002.jpg) So i decided to go to the local harware store to see what could dig up… misc. fasteners and alum. stock. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/jeller/DSC00003.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/jeller/DSC00003.jpg) And with the help of my old man’s bandsaw and drillpress i came up with this contrapsion. Now keep in mind i dont want the plate on all the time(ie show and meets). this bolt directlly into a hole drilled out of sight, on the inside of the left foglight hole. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/jeller/DSC00004.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/jeller/DSC00004.jpg) ---

this is a great idea, nice job. the only thing i’d be worried about is how much it will flap around in the wind, is it pretty sturdy? ---

ehh idk i think my plate will remain in the windshield, newmans theory of it getting you outta a speeding ticket kinda makes sense, if he gets outta the car hes most likely going to write you a ticket, and id much rather have him notice no front plate and write one for that than then something thatll put pts on my license. nice write up tho :tup: ---
