That's pretty sharp. Does NY require a front plate? I still have MS plates, and we do not require a front plate... however, I have had a plate installed in the North Hitch since installing it. No doubt that it doers block some airflow, but I don't think it affects it too bad, at least based on watching my temps when towing.
Yes they do... hence why I want that kit...
It probably does not affect it that much, very true, I just want a more solid front plate mount because mine is not... it would also give me more room to do a heater block plug mod like you did..
I have to admit, I like that mine hangs down and allows me to pull it out of the bumper just a little bit to plug mine in... but it seems there is enough slack there to allow yours to do the same.
In that photo, there is a plastic half moon style clip that holds the plug when not in use. So yes, there is plenty of slack to pull the plug out of the bumper. With my current brush guard bumper, the plug just dangles inside until it's needed. I still have the clip somewhere as I've been meaning to drill a hole for it to keep the plug from flopping and banging around. I zip tie it up during after winter.

Yes I believe I have the clip as well but leave mine hanging to use in winter time...
I believe I moved it down so I have better access to it when that 8 foot piece of steel is attached to my truck.
I bought a NOCO plug and installed it in the front of mine. Makes finding it, and using it super easy! I also added another one to the opposite side that is attached to a NOCO Genius10 that is hard wired to the battery to make keeping a charge in it easy too.
