Both will break.? You need fishing wire.? Hook on the inside of the insert, nearest the license plate, and pull the f*** out of it.? It won't break.

Mine didn't take much of a pull at all. The tabs didn't break either.
(I didn't think there was a market for the black ones.
)
Maybe I'll have my black ones Chromed. Nobody has tried that one yet as far as I know.

You can use dental floss but you should use four of five strands of it at the same time. Use gloves so you don't slice your fingers and pull from the inside edge (closest to the center of the car.)
Don't bother going out and buying fishing line just for this -- multiple strands of floss will work -- trust me...
