I've tried what I thought was "every conceivable" angle, nothing works. Can you post up some pics of yours? Maybe you have it in a way I haven't tried yet?
This thing drives me mad, my tech got in the other day and it starts howling at him, so lame

Looks like the US millworks sits closer to the car and allows for attaching to the plate holder in several locations...not sure if yours does that. Hope this helps!

p.s. I know i need to get new plates that aren't so dinged lol, but I've had these for like 12 years through so many cars!

Ok yours pulls the plate in much closer to the car, and farther to the left, that explains it. Thanks for the detail shots!

FWIW I went to court for my second no front plate ticket and the cop showed up (my luck again) but judge (same judge as my previous no front plate) reduced it to $10 all in.

Last time I went to court it was reduced to $50. The fine if I just paid it both times and not gone to court would have been $70 x 2 or $140 total.

In the end $60 and 2 hours of my time. Really no rhyme or reason to this shit.

Seems like it depends on the judges mood...my luck I'd have a judge who was having a root canal and going through a divorce at the same time he/she is making my judgement...

Been here since 2008 and had a cop bring it up once. Been pulled over and cited more times than I can remember, but the least of my concerns is not having a front tag. I actually have a plate holder for sale if anyone is interested.
