JBo...GREAT idea. I shall plagiarize the idea, claim it as my own and fabricate an appropriately folding bracket...thanks.

In Texas, we are supposed to have front plates, but I've never been stopped in the Cobra, and only once in one of my Porsches, on which I also REFUSE to put a number plate. When I feigned ignorance to the cop, he asked me in a "cool hand luke" drawl..."did you get two number plates when you collected them, sir?", to which I replied "yes, officer". His somewhat sarcastic response to my English accent was "sir, here in Texas, we don't give 'em away, lessen you need 'em".

I swallowed my response of "wouldn't you be better chasing drug dealers, officer, rather than penalizing the innocent motorist?", and replied "oh, I see, well I shall install it immediately I get home, officer".

He let me off with a warning, and I have NEVER put a front plate on ANY of my sportscars...seems somewhat sacrilegious!!!!
