I think his front spliter's hardware may make it difficult to mount it over there though... but yeah, it looks better down there.

Still, I feel sorry for you guys having to screw this to the front of your cars!

Just take off the plate and keep it in the trunk. Then if you get pulled over, say it's in the trunk because your car just got back from the shop and you were going to put it on when you got home.

The worst s/he could do is give you a fix-it ticket which would cost you $10, and you now get 30 days to "fix it". So now you drive to a police station, have it wrote off, then when you get home, take the plate off again.

Let's say maybe you get 3 fix-its a year... that's only $30 for a better looking front end!!!

 

or just keep it somewhere in the car along with some screws in the glove box, explain that your screws fell off and you just finished buying some new ones and were on your way home to put it on

its worked for me about 2 times

 

I like the splitters in the front there. Makes it look more aggressive. I can't wait to see pics of your car in Spring of 2006!!

 

Nah, mine is bolt inside-underneth the open fasicia of the front bumper, I would never drill holes in my front bumper.

 

There was a guy I knew in Chicago that flipped his front plate around backwards and upside-down, screwed it on, and then folded the top and bottom under so it looked like a european plate. It still showed the plate number, but took up less than half the space of the unbent plate. I'm still wondering about the legalities of that. If I get pulled over for having no front plate, I'll probably ask.

 

here's mine.. i did the bracket myself and screws underneath the opening of the bumper.. looks clean..

Yeah, at least they should let you guys have the choice between a full plate or a narrower plate in the front...

-

 

It's about the best you can do for sure... besides maybe installing only the plate without the holder. Did you ever try that? Or maybe it's too flimsy, I don't know, never been faced with the problem.

mine is just the plate it self and the bracket.. doesnt make any noise or wobble.. did 2 already ones for my other local lancer buddy.. works well.. and looks good too.. this was my 1st mod..and the grill..lol

 

Well thanx for all your comments, i moved the plate over just a bit this morning, i saw a picture of a Ralliart in japan where the guy had moved it to the same location that i have mine now, and it looks better,still wish we didn't have to have one, but oh well......not much i can do

 

Looks pretty cool bud, How did you do the air vents? Dremmel??

 

-

I was curious about that too. And also I thought our bumpers' re-bar was full (as opposed to the EVO's re-bar)... did you have to cut through it?

-

 

a guy in canada did this too..its a red RA..with black wing and white rims..i belive..looks hot.. but its too evo for me..hehe..but damn..it looks soo cool..congrats!=)

 

Just cut them out with a Jig saw, with a fine tooth blade for less mess and not too long so i didn't the re-bar while cutting
