    Roadster Foundry License Plate Bracket

    http://www.evcomponents.com/ProductD...ductCode=RFLPB

    Finally! A non-invasive solution for mounting your front license plate without having to drill holes and destroy the look of your Tesla Roadster. This lightweight steel license plate bracket mounts into the existing hole in the center of the Roadster's grille making it much less invasive. It is also easy to remove if you want no plate for special occasions or photo opportunities.

    Designed by Tesla Roadster owner Stephen Casner and made available through EV Components.

    If there is enough interest, we already have a design ready to machine for a European license plate. I could have that ready in three weeks.

    Mine early Steve model sits in a box waiting for the day that will never come when I get a fixit ticket for no front plate.

    I have to ask why they aren't black by now.

    I am at two months and five days with no ticket for the missing front plate.

    In fact, I had a discussion with a police officer in a parking lot as he admired my Roadster. I pointed out the missing plate and he said that they would only ticket me on it if I am pulled over for something else. It is one of those secondary items. Not a primary ticket offense.

    Why would it matter if the license plate is covering it?

    I was bugged by this until I got it on the car. It's always in shadow, mostly hidden. I had thought about getting mine coated black, but I've decided it's simply not worth it.

    Now I understand.

    I will look into getting them another color when they arrive.
    I have 25 being machined right now.
