here's my abridged version

I hated the big box on the front of my car that held my license plate

so after reading those threads listed above, I bought this

off of amazon here
http://www.amazon.com/Cruiser-Accessories-79050-License-Bracket/dp/B00032K4TW

I used zip ties like these

to hold the hanger in place

after putting a plate on this is what it looks like

now after doing that, I had to fill the holes that were left from the big box that previously held the license plate

I picked up plugs like these

for like 1.99 at Lowes
and some touch up paint from Morries for like 12 bucks

now the holes that are drilled are 5/16th of an inch.
so get plugs that size and before you install them, take a 5/16th drill bit and drill it out so it's nice and clean for the plugs
I noticed the holes were a tad smaller then 5/16th of an inch and had to be drilled, I tried not drilling the holes but the plugs didn't fit

now all together, this is how it looks on my car

hope this helps!
