Finally, took care of this at local Sherrifs Dept; didnt even come out to look at it; just stamped it.
For those who need a quick fix and dont want to order the tow hook adapater.
-Take your plate and put clear packing tape on top & bottom edges
-Standard Plate is 6" height; the front gill opening is a bit less.
-You can position it so lower edge rests on bottom of black grill and top is resting against two screw-heads; will be offset to one side.
-Use 8" zip ties (HomeDepot has black in Electrical aisle; $3.50); position so thru plate-holes, horizontal, and wrap around vertical grill bars.
-Move lock-tabs to edge or rear and cut off excess.
-With Black zip ties; it looks not terrible.
-Reduced airflow; Im usaully at 16--180F and this was at 180-200F; with a/c fans
-Plate was cool to touch after 2hr, 100mi. drive; so safe to leave on.
-Long term, tape or edge will probably wear on grill frame paint...
For $3.50 not a bad fix out of a $150 ticket

...a $150 ticket that one should never get as long as motorcycles, ATVs, certain antique cars, farm vehicles, auto dealer demo cars, and cars sporting "trip permits" aren't required to display 'em. :tap:
