Has anyone done this? I'm thinking about doing it, want to know if the license plate would actually hold.

it might hold if you have strong enough magnets, but it would scratch the crap out of your front bumper i would think...

^you just put some rubber or felt or something on the back of everything that touches the paint.

wont hold with my driving.

I'd say just slap it on when you're parked in the city. I've never been cited while driving, ALWAYS while I'm either in a parking structure or in a busy city (LA & SF). Cool idea!

if you have earth mags they will hold trust me, very strong stuff.

And why not just put the mags behind the cover and then stick the plate straight on..... less magnets needed.

Yeah, if you get earth magnets, they will hold while driving, just cover (like stated above) the parts that touch the paint with felt.

It will hold and it's easy to do...highly recommended. and for those who think they drive too aggressively for them, I doubt it...I drive as aggressively (but not stupidly) as anyone I know and mine doesn't fall off. Main thing is I never really drive with it on. I've only gotten tickets while parked somewhere so I just put it on and when I park in one of the "danger zones" and take it off when I leave. I forgot to take it off a few times and it was always still there when I remembered. I only use 8 rare earth magnets total (4 on plate and 4 behind filler) but if you are really worried, just use more. And felt on the magnets attached to the plate defeats any worries of scratches...One of my favorite "mods" since I hate front license plates and don't care for euro plates, just clean.

I will try these when I get a filler plate.
