I'm actually proud of my vehicle and I want to show that it is a 350...but that's just me, I understand this is a personal thing.
Edit: so after reading the post above ^^^ after I posted, what exactly does "cleaner" mean?

Cleaner
No advertising of make, model, engine size (ala "V8" on the Durango), dealer name and location as you often see on domestic models. No wording on a license plate frame advertising school, automobile make, profession, sexual preference....you name it. I, like you Ken Steele, love it that KS has no front plate requirement...that looks horrid on these cars. But if it's the law, it's the law. We're also fortunate that some front window tint is allowed.
This is no different in my mind than color preference, rim & tire preference, ground effects kit or not, exhaust modification...it's all how you like your car to look. I wanted the AWD for snow and bad weather, but feel no reason to advertise "AWD" in big, cheesy chrome letters on the back of my car.
But, alas, I also woundn't have bumper stickers, window decals etc...
We can agree to disagree.
P.S. The holes do not go through into the trunk. They are very shallow and backed with a black material.
P.S.S...Do not like it that there are only 2 screw holes for the top of the license plate, and none for the bottom. This exerts pressure that causes the bottom of the plate and frame to pull up and away from lying flush. There should have been 4 screw holes.
