I've had one for a few months, recommended, no trouble. It's got a spring lock, seems secure.

California allows a vinyl wrap. I’d do that.

I’ve so far just not put a front plate at all and roll the dice. Most cops just use it as an excuse to pull you over if you seem shady or tack it on, along with front window tint, when writing a ticket for something else.

I am going to be doing some tests with the Sto n Sho bracket. The plate mounts pretty low, I will test to see if using a vinyl plate and plastic cover allows it to go up a little. The Craig's bracket only uses 3M tape and is not recommended for cars having PPF, like mine.

I tested mounting the vinyl plate higher, but it triggered the warning just like the metal plate. Without any plate (vinyl or steel), just a plastic cover, it did not trigger. So I‘ve left it mounted as designed. I had assumed that the 3M tape was part of what held the plate up, but apparently it's only to stop any left-right motion. It does not lie flat on the underside trim. The nice folks at Sto n Sho informed me that is correct, and the bolt screws solidly into a trim clip and holds it firmly.
