Finally many of us want to take pictures of the car without the plate and this gives that flexibility.
The part about moving back makes sense (unless you move to Illinois and I hope nobody ever does that ).

I don't agree with the damage part - cause like I said, for those who have to have the front plate (with no hope of moving), it really isn't damage - it is two holes covered by a plate. The people who do the offset tow hook mount - those just look soo mooch to me - so, to me, they drive around with a terrible looking front plate setup for years, so they don't have holes in their bumper after they get rid of the car. The only person that helped was the new owner

I grew up in IL and I sure as hell am never going back! The toe hook mount looks like trash on these cars does not matter if it's a state side or European plate! And definitely can see your perspective. I just personally hate the hole!
