front "license plate" ideas

ok so i dont need a front plate in florida and i was looking for an idea of what to put in place of the front plate, saw the ford plates, the football team plates and all. Just wondering if anyone has seen anything cool or has any ideas of what to get on one like football teams and whatnot. thanks guys.

Depends on what you like. If I wasn't required to have a plate, I would just take the bracket off my truck. It looks a lot cleaner without a plate.

Are there any sports or teams you are a big fan of? College? You can always get a custom plate made. Maybe your name or a nick name of your truck? Maybe a phrase you like?

if you don't have to have the front plate on i would leave it alone, looks much more cleaner IMO....my sig has mine without the front plate but by law we have to have one and cover up my beautiful work with some ugly numbers/letters....

If anything you could get a custom plate like mine. Without sport teams or anything just custom lettering. I kind of wish I didnt have to have my front plate on though. looks so much cleaner. NY stinks...

Even if your state requires a front plate, there are other solutions out there besides the OEM bracket.

If you don't want your front plate bracket I'll take it. Mine didn't come with one and I want to add some sort of vanity plate and also then have a place to mount a wireless front camera :-)

Im in FL and I have the bracket there. I think i am gonna do a vanity plate since I want a light bar and the brackets wont allow a lil grille down there without a lot of trimming. I dont have a place to do custom plates down here in Key west. next time I am in brandon i will get one done as well as Line-x hopefully.
