Looks like a Cali front license plate. Does the local PoPo frown on the plate being covered up?

Did my own mods to a 3/5 drop which ended up being close to a 5/6 drop. Custom 22s and alignment tomorrow

It may become problematic:

Section 5201.(a) of the VEHICLE CODE:

5201. (a) License plates shall at all times be securely fastened to
the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates
from swinging, shall be mounted in a position so as to be clearly
visible, and so that the characters are upright and display from left
to right, and shall be maintained in a condition so as to be clearly
legible.

It's wasn't until after I moved out of CA did I realize the regulation burden that exists in the state. That's not to say it's not an issue elsewhere, it just seems to be greater in CA. As silly as it sounds. I remember feeling like I moved to another country when I was able to tint my front windows (drivers and pass), only have one plate (keeping the clean lines on the front of the car plate free) and have colored Bug Deflector on the hood (you can't have colored Bug Deflectors - think red or blue).

I know it all small stuff, but it adds up.

Hopefully the PoPo isn't Loco and they leave you alone. It's been years, but I don't recall seeing too many (if any) of those bull guards when I was driving around Nor-Cal.

Duly noted. California does have some pretty petty things they sweat people over. I'm hoping it won't be an issue but if it does I'll relocate it. I wonder if this is legal in CA.

What YouTube link did you use? I've searched and have come up empty handed.

Thank you for the info. I remember seeing one of his youtube videos and how he developed the product. I will reach out to him and see what he can do for me. I appreciate the quick response.
