Anyone ever remove the black plastic plate that u screw ur license plate into.

Is it easy to remove? How would i go about doing it??

Default I really love it. No complaints. Very very fast for it's weight. Sticks to the road like glue.

And even at 22 psi to redline, it hasn't complained a bit.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/9472/audiplaneplate.jpg"></center><p>OK...I know you HATE the little 'R' emblem...It is made in GERMANY and off of A BELGIUM built Volvo. It ain't Japanese anything!!
If you have "slammed" your S4, or put Limo tint anywhere, or "clear-lensed" anything, Or nailed on a BMW chin/lip appliance, OR put on 19' gangsta rims....Do not call ME RICE!
That out of the way....I pulled off the black thingy...drilled my plate and put it back on with screws I painted to almost match. I put a thin plate of Lexan on the back of the plate with some glued on rubber gromets to hold the plate off of the paint somewhat. Looks cleaner!! I will take a angle photo someday that shows the mod better.

Default I took mine off, trimmed it an had it painted to match my car.....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/563/rear_plate.jpg"></center><p>also painted my license plate frame. There's a black gooey glue used to keep it from ratteling that I replaced with some similar stuff from Radio Shack.

Jim DeArres did this mod first and I thought it looked really good so I bit!
