I've got a plate frame similar(not the exact one) to that that I bought from AM years ago and haven't had any problems with it. I don't have a front plate either but I am only home in Texas with my car a few weekends a during the school year. I've been pulled over once for not having a plate, only a warning, and the officer was my Mom's cousin.

It's all in the shutter speed baby. lol

I have some metal frame from autozone that came with a smoked cover, and TBH that's good enough, it's like $15 or $10 without the smoked lens.

The Cobra is Knifes(Brandon) but my paint is in really good shape because I'm a hardcore paint detailer and I do it on the side for money too. A wash is not gonna make the paint look that good your going to have to clay it and then use a polisher like the porter cable and polish the imperfections out of the paint and use good products. I have a few hundred dollars of paint cleaning supplies. But its a little side hobby of mine that I love.

For a full detail with paint correction can take up to 10 hours on my car inside and out and engine bay. Just a regular wash and clean up inside/out is around 1-2 hours depending on how involved I get with the time I have available. There is a reason the good detailers get a few hundred to do one car because it takes a lot of time to do it right.

Depends on the cars condition and what the client wants.
