Are you sure? I was pulled over for that not too long ago.

Guess I'm wrong on legal grounds.....My dad's Accord that was bought in Fl, has never had a front plate holder (or front plate installed), and in the 8 years and at least 2 times he's been pulled over up here the officers never bothered him about that....I've passed by a number of radar traps (slow enough not to get bothered), and squad cars at the local fast food joints since the bumper change/plate delete and I've not been bothered either.....I suppose I could keep the holder and plate in the trunk and come up with some innocent story if I meet a hard-ass.

Perhaps the speaker could be rebuilt, but that is probably going to cost upwards of $30, and I think if I make an adapter plate and use cheaper 4" speakers.....
The factory originals are pretty cheap looking anyway. Just a single shallow cone with paper suspension with little travel....I'm surprised that they can out shout my engine with (effectively) no muffler on the highway. If I use smaller drivers (the perforated opening in the cone protector, and door card opening are both smaller than 4") I'll keep the originals so they could be rebuilt in the future.
