It's nice to be able to take the front plate off in seconds if going to a car show or throw it back on in seconds if your going on a road trip out of town, but if you're just looking for a method to mount the front plate there are certainly less expensive options out there. It is well built, sturdy & comes with all necessary hardware.
If planning to purchase, put one on your ebay watch list then just wait for ebay to run one of their frequent 15% off sales. This takes a bit off the hit of the $ 85.00 price tag just to mount your plate.
