Skene bracket

I was wondering if anyone had any pics of the Skene license plate bracket on the car without the license plate on it?

From the front and from an angle.

Thanks

FWIW I went through all these no drill options (Skene, US mill, etc) and end of day preferred this $30 diy version. Centered, comes off whenever, and easy to make:

(In the video I was handling both camera and bracket so I couldn’t adjust the angle but it normally sits perpendicularly)

Looks clean.

Can you drive with that?

Looks like if you hit a bump at speed it would come off.

Side view, a bit blurry, sorry. Since I only had the plate off at the track I didn't care about the buck tooth look. Painting them black or body color would have made them mostly invisible. Eventually I dropped the front plate altogether and removed the mount. (Knock wood, CHP hasn't stopped me for no front plate yet.)

Not a chance, 100mph and it’s rock solid. Each magnet is rated for like 20lbs.
