i cant remember what his name is on here, but i saw MESOJDM's car at a burbank meet and all he did was 3M tape it and bent the plate so it followed the bumper contour and it looked as good as it can with the car having a front plate.

his username might be late apex.. i can't rememeber.

I was thinking about putting the license plate "Raked back" below the intercooler opening.. I made some brackets that mount to my splitter and let the plate lay back so it doesn't block the intercooler. I never got around to installing either the splitter or the bracket, but it looked kinda cool mocked up..

I hate running a front plate.. NY is also required.. The "in the window officer because the car didn't come with a bracket" excuse doesn't work.. I just got fed up with getting pulled over (It doesn't happen now, but when I was seen around alot it used to) so I put the bracket back on.

Hope he doesn't mind

My license plate is more towards the center than his.

what i do and havent gotten any problems here in TX is I have the passenger side visor down all the time and I zip tied the license to the visor. You can see it just as well as you would on my front bumper and I even asked local cops and they said its ok as long as its visible.....then again not sure about your state.

They pulled me over for going 38 in a 35 last night.

They'd probably pull me out of the car and shoot me for a visor-license.

My plate was drilled in that same spot (more towards the center over the small oval). Hell I even asked the dealership here in MA before my evo came off the truck to not drill the hole for the bumper but they claim they have to in order to sell the car. No biggy though it keeps the cops from picking on me.

However I don't know what the law is in MA but you should becareful with cutting your license plates. if they want to be an *****, they can give serious $ fines for even defacing it or bending because it's considered state property in some states.

Looks good, I am fixing to move to Dallas and they require front license plates which I HATE because it's gonna put a damp on my FMIC on my eclipse, I'm thinking about flushing it into my bumper.
