thats not a bad idea! wonder how they accually hold up.. and how bulky they look on the front. they might look funny when folded up.

If the plate step is too bulky, just get a small step ladder. The painted cap will look much better, especially if you paint the grill.

I Have A Small Step Ladder But Sometimes Thats Just Not Enought. I Cant Even Step On The Bumper First I Have To Use The Tow Hook For The First Step.

I Just Dont Want It To Look Funny Havein All The Front Plastic Painted To Match And The Back Not....casue I Step On My Rear Bumper All The Time..
