^^^ Looks good.

Is this done by a translucent film or some other process?

OK - Cool or UnCool, that is the question. At considerable expense ($27), I created a magnetic front license plate for my XK8. Euro themed, but with the Utah state seal, and the correct license plate numbers/letters for my car. (I had heard I could be ticketed for no front license plate) and I did not want to drill any holes in the car. Please reply with your thoughts.

Cool idea with the magnet, but here in Idaho they have something called a "fictitious display of plates" that it would fall under, or you could still be issued a cite for "fail to display front plate." I would imagine they have something similar in Utah.

+1 from me, it looks far better than any mounting bracket.

I'd like to find the source for that plate too, please?

​​​​​​Cool. How's your car treating you? I've had mine 3 years (6,000 miles). No issues so far!

I've had mine for about 6 yrs. After repairing a few issues (ABS module, thermostat housing, respray), I've had no major issues with 79,600 miles on it.

Does Utah not allow a front plate exemption for some vehicles like Washington? Washington explicitly allowed the waiver for the XK8 (at least 2000 models). I'm in Michigan where that crap ain't required.
