Cool A "Clever" front license plate trick

*Edit: Oh bother. The photos messed up again. Here's a link to my photobucket album with the pics: http://s1311.photobucket.com/user/Mu...0Plate%20Mount

So I figured today was as good a day as any to do this thing I saw on Clevername's car, and I built this removable assembly. The simple setup allows the license plate to be easily removed for shows and meet-ups, and and re-attached quickly with two wing-nuts on the underside of the car.

ALL credit for the entire idea goes to CN, whom I blatantly copied. (His is more fancy, however, posted here.)

Kudos my friend...
Here is another mod to the plate I chose to do.... Worth considering.

I took semi-hard plastic tubing, angle cut the ends and ran my plate bolts through them. This way if I smack the front plate on anything minor, the flat tubing makes contact with the bumper instead of the bolts.
It could prove to be a real paint saver....
