Good call. That makes sense to me. Come to think of it I don't recall see any EB front plate mounts on any of the mules or the trucks used at the drive events. They were all out of Michigan. Another no front plate state.

Was looking around a dealer lot today, and had an idea....wondering what yall think about this possibility of putting the bottom grille (bumper filler grille) from the Harley model, and putting it on a EB. I don't know if you could just buy an insert, or if you would have to get the whole bumper? I also don't know if it would restrict tooo much air for the cooler or not.?.?.? There is good space in between the bars..just like on the main grille. Anyway...when I get my EB, I don't want an off center plate, and I don't like the big open gap...so I wonder if this would work.

Okay, now I see that in the picture I posted above, that is a totally different bumper. I swear when I was looking in person today, it looked like the same bumper, only with different plastic inserts. Maybe I didn't look hard enough....either way, I wouldn't be beyond trading out my bumper if it would work.

Again, you need to check with Ford on the warranty - I have heard that putting *anything* in the hole will void it.
