Just have not got around to installing mine yet. I'll get to one of these days, I'm sure.

I paid about $45-50 bucks for it. Since then, a few other copies came out from other companies as well.

If you do a google search for them you will not only find where to buy them but also some related versions as well.

I have not seen one of those in person. Pictures may not do it justice but all the onces I have seen in photos made the plate look out of place. Again, maybe different in person. Of course personal preference comes into play as well.

FWIW, I moved from California to Georgia and solved a whole bunch of California specific problems at once, and having a front plate was one of them for sure.

Which one you guys thing is better?

I went with the grimmspeed since it has a plate you mount the license plate to and I thought it would keep the license plate from bending. I really like how it looks (for having a front plate anyway...).

not to sound like a cheap *** but holy shizzzz, seems like a whole lot of $ for a piece of metal that is an eye sore for such a beautiful front end just to put my ugly front plate on...damn you Texas law!

gotten a number of tickets for no front plate but I just pop it on, take a pic, show it to the judge & dismissed
