HAHAHA Reminds me of my uncle who lived in florida. Didn't like the orange (it apparently clashed with his car) so he paid extra for a police athletic league support plate. He says the cops are nice to him every time he gets pulled over (warnings for ridiculous amounts over the limit)

but if you look close you can see how the plate is just screwed right into the pre drilled holes for the bumper, and it looks like its floating on it, then the bottom is folded under, not blocking any part of the grill! Theres no plastic frame, no holder, nothing, i think its a lot cleaner looking than anything else ive seen, im not a fan of the ones that actually cover the grill, and i really dont like mounting it not directly on center. Just an idea for you guys who need a plate like us Jersey ppl!

Looks promising. Did you put some foam/padding between the plate and the bumper to prevent scratching?

NJCrue · 08-26-2008, 08:03 PM

No foam or padding, there wasnt any under the plate holder so i just left it, i actually checked it a month or so after, and there werent any scratches or anything, but when the car goes back to BMW im gonna put everything back on anyway ....

Looks terrible. Why is the bottom of the plate folded under the bumper? And what happened to the back of your car?!

I had a sticker plate printed myself:
