Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good news and bad

Good news and bad news, and there are workarounds for bad news. Good news: the shape of the cone makes it such that any would-be driver with an ordinary screwdriver, pliers (including stoppers) or wrench will not be able to remove it from record thieves. And license plates are usually stolen by the person whose car was stolen or used for criminal purposes, not by a professional license plate thief who does it all day and has a special wrench. You have three bad news: First, the reports. Rust. We don't get rust in Southern California, but I would be concerned if there's salt on the roads or where it rains a lot. Countermeasures: clear coat (or paint that matches the color of the vehicle). Apply some paint to the carvings and other invisible parts, assemble and paint the visible parts. . Second, the screws are a bit too big. I don't want them to be much smaller or someone could just grab the plate and rip it off your machine causing damage. The plastic holes are slightly larger. Third, the people in China who make them have done too much and the die has worn out, resulting in the key no longer fitting the clasp properly. People who buy and resell them should tell the manufacturer not to pay if the key doesn't fit the head. : With a little modification you have a license plate that is quite difficult to steal. Is it worth the trouble? Your choice.
