I like it.
Mine's just the opposite- red with black lettering. Definite bug magnet. |

Don't know if he has some extras, still makes them, or if anyone bought extras that they'd sell.

 No doubt...it's why I removed my Forced Air system, since I didn't want to continually be pulled over for no front plate.BTW Bob, I like the letters on the plate cover painted black...looks good.
