And yeah you don't need the bottom two holes on your back plate. The back of the license plate frame should have two little lips that hold the plate inside the frame.
Yeah usually when I slow to a stop, the lowest gear I go into is second till I make the complete stop, then depending on how short a stop it is I either switch to neutral or go right into 1st and go.

Oh cool, that makes sense.
