I'm hoping that some nice bloke w/ E.H. Harms (transport co'y) will remove the perfect rear plate and throw it in the back. This has happened to some fortunate ED'ers. The front one gets bent to fit on the front 'bar so it does not come off without some post-flex bending.

The plates are put on without holders.

I'm going to buy a two-hook based mount for my front plate so I can keep the front bumber 'clean' especially for track or Tejas Chapter meets
Awesome! This write up will help me alot. Hopefully I will be a member of the Tejas chapter once again in a couple of years. Maybe they'll actually start doing some autocrosses like every other chapter.
