i donno about what to do about covering in the holes, but go buy a few of those lil suction cups from walmart, stick them in the holes of ur plate and suck that baby to the inside of the windshield somewhere, i mean, either way..whats it matter? i mean u get pulled over, technically you still have a front plate, so no harm, but if they right u up, then go down and show them, but i mean atleast have it on the car still, what could it hurt? alot of people around here ( texas) do that, you can just slide it between ur dash and windshield, but here in texas, they made it illigal unless you can see the WHOLE plate? some covers for them cover up the word texas on the top and they right u up for it, its gay, but yea just stick it to the windshield with suction cups
