I made an S shaped aluminum bracket for the lower bumper. Stainless bolts keeps it all on. You'll want to be just above curb height because eventually you will make contact, like it or not.

But what with the revenue shortage many cities are looking for any way to gather up a few extra bucks. So now you can get ticketed solely for things like no front plate and window tinting. I know a guy who recently got a no front plate ticket while his car was parked in front of his house.

SoCal is really the Kingdom of Petty. This is not so much a recent development, Doug. Has been happening for years. I no longer park any of my plate-less cars in public parking areas. As you say, too easy for the lazy ticket writers.
