Front plate filler!!!
So...I'm feeling a little rebellious and put on my front plate filler..
I may ziptie or wrap the front plate with something to the lower grille, going to get some felt sheets or something from the crafts store and glue it to the back so it doesn't scratch the trim.. For now It will be displayed in the window until I have time..
Thankyou to whoever it was that put this in the ebay thread! I'm very pleased. It did have breaks in the fastener holes, but I remedied that with crazy glue and two little washers.
Bought some trim adhesive since the 8 was peeling on top...now it looks perfect!

Gotta give you kudos for all your hard work and dedication!
Sure would like to see it in person! Maybe get one of those hide away flip license plate brackets that mounts below your lower grille? That way when your at shows you can just slip it out of view and yet still be legal in your state on the roads.
Says it fits 2004 Monte Carlo!

You might want to consider this idea for the plate:
Amy had one on her silver Monte. I bought one for my Monte (just have not had a chance to install it).

Hey sweet! 
I've been running without my front plate for a few days now to see if the Fuzz would be a problem, so far so good!

I really don't see any issue...I've seen so many cars without front plates, I know a good 10 people here that don't run with it and have not been pulled over yet...and they don't even bother about it..

I've been pulled over in two different cars for nothing else other then lack of front plate. It's been a LOT of years since those two tickets but both times, they were $80 tickets.
