    You mean what police look for to make sure you're in compliance with the law and that you are registering your vehicle like everyone else has to?

    I have used black nylon hole plugs or black variable depth automotive fasteners, both available at any well stocked hardware store in the same area / bins as nuts and bolts. My 4R currently wears no front plate (winch) and I have some 1/4" hole plugs in there. My Tacoma had the plate mounted too high on the bumper and I moved it to the correct location and plugged the holes with 1/4" variable depth fasteners. I'll look for a picture.

    In either case you'll need to drill the hole out to the correct size and clean up the plastic "flash" before snapping in the plug. Also, I personally think the plugs look just fine but I suppose if you are really OCD they are no better than a hole. Hole plugs have a smaller diameter head than the variable depth fasteners.

    Edit, pic of the hole plugs on MGM 4R:

    Yep, that was my point of why do we need a front plate. Maybe nowadays they use it for the tollway high speed cameras so would be a valid reason. Just in my state it's been law since cameras even exsisted lol

    I love it, the amount on forest roads we have in the valley is amazing. Always peaks and off grid lakes to find
