What I did with my useless front plate bracket

I recently bought a demo Z4 that had the front license plate bracket installed. I live in NC where no front plate is needed. I am not a fan of the euro plates or the BMW Roundel plate. I considered the hole plugs but they also look out of place. I decided to order a custom steel plate from www.licenseplates.tv. I have seen cars with color matching plates before and I always thought it looked cool. I like that you really have to look to see what it says. Otherwise it just looks like a blank black plate. These are stamped plates with embossed letters.

Admittedly the first time I've seen such a plate. Looks good, Dusty!

Interesting. Looks pretty cool.

A good auto body shop can fix the holes and blend the paint very easily. Just sayin.

My front plate is essential in NY... These are metal spikes, no bumper buddy, rather; tap my bumper and get holes.
