    So I just got my new plates in the mail the other day, and while putting them on I realize, "Man, I have a nice new truck and ugly license plate holders."

    What do you have holding your license plate? Just screws, a nice holder, or the dealership holder? (Like me :p) I hope to get some ideas from you guys. I figure since it's the law in CA to have your front plate on, might as well make it look as nice as possible :cool:

    i wish it was like that in cali. looks so much cleaner without the front plate if you have a stock bumper. :/

    haha nice though. i was trying to find a TRD holder myself, but i don't think you can get them anywhere retail :notsure:

    I haven't run a plate in Ca for 3 years and I've never been pulled over. Actually I could be screwed if I were pulled over. :(
