Rho Plate

Rho Plate
Here in the People's Republik a front plate is mandatory. My car didn't come with a front plate holder, so the front plate is wrapped in a rag on the dash. Clearly not a long term solution. I've read the thread here about this and found the Rho Plate V2. Has anybody actually used one of these? While I know that some think that tow hook plate holders are ugly, I'm not am as worried about beauty as I am about the constabulary. Rho claims that it doesn't interfere with the parking sensor. Just want to make sure before I shell out $.

I'm sorry I don't get it
What is this? Is it a now you see it, now you don't, James Bond Type license plate frame/bracket ? I did read the link but I'm not clear on what this product supposedly does.
Bottom line, especially if vehicle is in motion, if police take notice of no front plate, more than likely police will stop you to issue you a summons ticket for lack of front plate . so how does this product help against this type of situation. Anyone ...

+1 on it being the very best front plate mounting solution I've ever seen.

Basically, its a two part solution. One part of the fixture attaches to car, other part attaches to the plate. There is a quick disconnet between the two parts so you can remove the plate easily when you want. The fixture that attaches to the car is essentially invisible when the plate part is removed, plus it attaches to EXISTING bolts, so no unsightly holes need to be made in the car.

I got a Rho plate shortly before the STO N SHO showed up. Rho plate is good quality, and easy to put on and remove (though not as easy as STO N SHO.) I got it mainly to make it easy to put the plate on for the annual inspection, and then easy to remove it 5 minutes later.
I don't have parking sensors, so I can't comment on that. But there is a bit of flexibility in how the plate is positioned on the stud. I think it's a good product.

I don't have the RHO tow hook holder (mine is from Mini2Go) but the parking sensor is in the black bar right behind it. How could it no affect the sensor? It triggers only when it put it in reverse. Push on the dash turns the sensor off.

When I showed the Sto-N-Sho to my dealer GM, he said he planned to keep some in stock as the recommended option for his customers.
