Well, The Strat got thumped back in December 06, and needed a new nose.

The frustrating part about the situation was that most of the damage was caused but the design of the license plate, as its support feet punched a hole through the fascia.

I decided to eliminate the OEM mount and lower the plate below the level of typical bumpers.

After lowering the Plate, I needed to give it some flexibility for those high curbs (and occasional cat ).
