    As I mentioned on the other head the center head would be too low below the plate. I would try to put the center head above the front plate.

    I drive in Boston sometimes and have seen a laser ally being used by BPD. I want to make sure I'm protected

    Can you maybe run the wire out of the grill and mount the head on top of a license plate frame? You can even custom make a frame for the ALP head so it looks nice.
