Ecomodding cost me,once:

I took my front plate off to put the grille block on the Firefly, and somehow I misplaced the plate. Or it fell off. (I'll never know.)

Anyway, I never got around to getting a new set until after I was stopped in a routine traffic check (looking for impaired drivers) and got a ticket for it.

If I remember, it was about $125.
