    Kinda......It was a cardboard sheet with holes punched into it. You hold it up to the plate, then spray paint the cardboard, leaving "pixalated" license. For best results, you are supposed to do the same to your face. That wards off any photo radar tickets.

    From this posted info, I was able to find out that, You actually live in Canada, are a 5' 2" tall Asian woman. You ate Malt-O-meal this morning, and you have a ferret that you think is a cat.

    I leave it sometimes and block it sometimes, just to confuse people with my randomness.

    I leave my plate visible but block out all company logos when I post pics from work. Just seems like a good idea. My boss seems to think the interwebz is full of shenanigans.

    i try not to get mine it pic... idk why


    but anyways.. everyone better hide their location as well because by showing it. all someone has to do is come to you’r town. drive around till they find you’r truck and fallow you home. maybe harder than searching your tag info but if they have the time and want to bad enough they will.

    But somebody on the freeway will see a modified truck and know that it's got shit on it and in it. If somebody wants it, they'll get it, regardless if they just happened to see your license plate, seek out your address, go there while you're asleep, break in, carefully remove everything........



    See where I'm going with this?
