That did not offend my sense of aesthetics, but was awfully low and, careful as I was, it scraped and banged up the plate as well as the mount. I actually went out and got replacement plates -- thankfully not too expensive in Oregon. Then I ordered the Carbonio mount but (1) installation I found was difficult and (2) the plate ended up too far forward, I thought. I gave up after spending $300 on substandard solutions and now run naked up front. I am also a very conservative driver so have not had any conversations with Johnny Law. YMMV.

If you're up for a drive to the Silver Falls area, free $200 Carbonio mount to a good home...
I also have one that could go to a good home in Cornelius.
