cheap way to fix plate rattling

after i hooked up my new subs (2 500watt BOSS 10") my license plate was rattling like mad. so i just found some soft sponge, put some 3M double sided adhesive tape, and stuck it behind the license plate.. and wha-la.. no more rattling.. cheap 3~4 dollar rattle fix

my license plate came with little foam pieces to put behind it, did yours not have them or still rattle even with them?

I think most stereo stores have foam peices that fit behind your license plates so that they don't rattle. I think they're called dyno-mats, it works pretty good.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

LOL, I accidentally trashed them. I was like, "WTF are these for?" Now I know!
