Default Insert to delete front license plate holder

Does anyone know where I can get an insert to fit into the european-size front license plate slot, so I can get rid of the ugly American plate holder, and have no front license plate?

I got mine painted for about $60.

While Paul is THE MAN, there are a lot of knowledgeable people on the forum. If you'd ask questions about issues you're having, in a straightforward manner, you might be surprised at how much help you'd get, both with and without Paul.

Default I'll ask the obvious question...

Working in IT, you'll have to forgive my need to ask the obvious question here. Are you sure you don't have one in the trunk. My 98 had the factory insert wrapped in light foam at the bottom of the spare tire well. If you haven't had the spare out, you may want to look there first before buying one. If you have, then my apologies. :-)

Default Re: Insert to delete front license plate holder

I've been wanting to do that too. I had been told there was one in the trunk, but looking around I didn't really find anything other than the cargo net, towing ring, jack, etc. I didn't actually pull the spare all the way out though. Looks like I have something exciting to do on Saturday. =)
