Took the license bracket brick off the front of Ruby today. Since Florida only has a rear tag there's no need for it, and it ruined the look of the grille so off it came. Took about ten minutes to remove it. I had to drill out four rivets, unfortunately that meant there were four holes in the grille from when the frame was attached

It didn't turn out perfect (since I used aluminum tape over the four rivet holes as a temporary measure) but it looks a lot better than it did, and I'm sure there's a little aero gain there

I'll look for a permanent solution at some point, but this will do for now

On a side note it's been unseasonably warm even for Florida for the last week so I'm seeing my best numbers yet in the Volt, and over a 70 mile EV range. Hope the warm snap lasts all the way to spring (which is February here)
