Who knows, maybe by June I'll be able to go to a drive in. That would be fun, it's been at least 20 years

drive-in is what I meant. Clifton Park area has one and there is also one close to where we live.

I don't think it would! Just don't make sense to spend $200 to fix the bumper if for a few
bucks more you can deal with that AND have a new front lip!

Besides if you get the lip, then you can start saving for the spoiler.

Rick and I both liked the looks of a front lip and never had a rear spoiler. Unfortunately,those front lips are kinda low........we've had two. The first one I killed at Lake George. The second got hit on the highway by a weight from a traffic cone. It was cracked. I finished it off in Canada. We go without a front lip now.

BUT it is a quick fix if you have a scrape on the lower bumper....

I have the OEM front lip without a rear spoiler. Looks fine to me.

I run a front plate, even though I absolutely abhor the look of it for two reasons:

1) I (like you) have paid extra for two vanity plates. Why not display both of them? I could understand not displaying the front plate if you had a boring, run-of-the-mill one. But since you have a special plate, why not show it?

2) I don't want to give Johnny Law a reason to pull me over. Even though the front plate ticket is a "fix it", what happens if you get the ticket in some far-off township? Do you really want to spend the time and money to drive all the way back out to show that it was corrected?

Run the front plate.

Not legal, and quite dangerous. If you get in a crash, you essentially have a giant razorblade flying around the interior of your car.
