No front plate ticket

I think you could make a horizontally mounted v-shaped bracket (with the apex at the headlight end) that runs from the bottom front of the headlight relief to the inner lip of the radiator opening. You would have to drill three holes, but they would not be noticeable and if the bracket were removed, you could get nice little rubber plugs for them.

Possible?

I don't know about other makes, but on my FFR coupe I mounted a retractor on the upper lip inside the radiator opening. I heard too many stories about CT local cops looking for a quick ticket. It was controlled by a dash switch. I usually left it down when driving and while it blocked some air flow to the radiator, it didn't seem to affect the coolant temp. On hot days idling in traffic I would retract it, but I don't think it was necessary as the puller fans were pulling plenty of air through the radiator. After my accident where the front clip was destroyed, I never replaced it.
