rodster, aren't the lugs a whell locks? or are you talking about a lock at the clasp? I agree I don't care for the way the license plate holder looks. TimG cut his off exposing the spare tires lug nuts and mounted the plate to the bar of the tire carrier. just a thought. I agree something needs to be done with this design. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Humgirl&guy:

It's the black thing the tag is mounted on. A replacement product needn't be as big -- just big enough to hold the tag and cover the lug nuts. The half-circle brow immediately above the tag is generally chrome or brushed silver; mine is modified.
Make this product with a lock and you'll solve two problems: First, the OEM part is a bad aesthetic design to begin with and doesn't really match the rest of the truck. Second, if you include a lock, it'll secure the tire and wheel.
