Default Damn front license plate........

I moved my front license plate and installed in the lower (grill) opening.
Afraid to leave it in the trunk.........don't want to get stopped.
It looks much better although it would look better without it.

Anyway.........would this significantly effect the cool air flow to the engine?

Has anyone done this or have othe ideas as to where to install it up front that
would look okay?

POOCH

i dont think it will help air flow that much, why not just drive without the front plate, that would mean a bigger air flow

Screw the front license plate. I had mine on for 6 months and just took it off. Screw it. I'd rather have the $30 fine. I'll consider it a great cosmetic mod for only $30.

Yes, when it is hot there will be insufficient air flow.

I see so many 'vettes going around without any front plates that I decided I'd rather have a good looking functional front end and go without it. I would assume the engine would heat up, especially in the summer months.
