it has the chicken on it so you can paint it if you want..im not the first owner of my car so i dont have the filler panel, seems like a good alternative to having a front plate(wich i hate) and having the panel

I had one on the car after being bothered for no front plate. I did not have a front plate for the first year and a half then was bothered twice in a summer. I since have shattered it and gotten another gm one much better quality.

That plate cover costs $49.
An obstructed plate ticket is $35.
Might be worth the investment if you speed a lot - its an alternative ticket if you have a good driving record, and could have gotten popped for doing 15+mph over.

i think fines differ pending on the jurisdiction of the municipal court where the offense takes place.....different town, different price!

Mine was $35 on Route 202 just inside the NJ border from PA.  I thought the cost of fines were all the same, but dunno. This was 2006.
In any case, if you are going to keep the plate on there, only cover it with something if you are looking for an alternative fine for another infraction. If you have tinted windows, don't bother with the plate cover for that reason. Personally, I don't like the look. Leave it bare or take the whole plate off and keep it handy if you get pulled over.

I recieved a ticket for no front plate in Somers Point. The cop gave me that instead of a 25 over speeding ticket. I was very grateful. No front plate tickets are $54 around here. A 25 over speeding ticket = ... well... MUCHO DINERO
