On the front plate thingy...I really don't mind having one.
Mostly because my truck's bumper is specifically for a plate (the rub strip has notches in it and there are four holes for the bracket).

My truck has one and I am OK with that.

Some vehicles though are really hard to tell that they even have the holes for the bracket.

Look at my SIG PIC and visualize what the front would look like with a big ol' plate stuck right in the middle of the bumper..
Not only that...but the bracket that holds the plate is BLACK RUBBER and is HUGE.
.:lol:...

I'm not sure if you get ticketed in WI for not having one. :dunno:

You can get ticketed for not having one in Texas.
It is REQUIRED to have it.

Yours is right in the center? :(

Some GM cars have it off to the side.... Slightly better...
No changing the fact that it's a gigantic ugly piece of plastic, but at least it's not right on the nose :lol:

Yep...Right in the center...and it is a great big ol' ugly piece of black rubber.

Some GM cars have it off to the side.... Slightly better...

But it "IS" right on the nose...that's one thing that makes it so ugly.. :lol:

Nutin. I miss driving it :crybaby:
At least I'm not the only one :crybaby:

I should add that the wash I gave it yesterday didn't last very long. You can't even tell it was washed :(.


i hate when that happens....

that remonds me, i need to wash mine:rolleyes:
All I care is that it lasts at least a couple days. It didn't even make it 18hrs this time :facepalm:.

Pushed some snow :thumbs:
Holy crap Ken :eek:. How much snow did you get? I'm sure the good old trusty GMT-400 didn't let you down :thumbs:.

According to the news we got 28 plus inches, but I think we got more.
