How does this look?

Bent the tag (is that ok to do?) and used the same drilled holes.

To me it looks okay, but this gives me the chance to fix it back in 5 minutes IF I get stop by the Pos..

You mean the bent plate? Probably not ok. If you get stopped and fix it on the spot they will probably be cool with it, the FIRST time.

Looks kinda weird to me. I just run without a front plate, and when I do have to put one on for one reason or another I use a tow hook mount.

You know you don't have to have front plates in MD anymore right?

Bumperplugs are better than nothing.

Wyatt?!!! I'm registered in MD. Please tell me this true!

After looking it up you have to make sure you do a good job repairing the bumper when removing the plate holder. If it looks like your car was previously modified before the bill for the plates they can still give you problems.

You'll also have to have the plate in the car and possibly visible. But sticking on the dash is still a lot better than the front bumper.
