Front license plate mount

Just got my Beatrush license plate mount and rear strut from kamispeed.com. Now I don't mind sporting my front plate. You'll have to drill into your plate to match the beatrush mounting holes. The mount itself attaches to the holes the dealer had drilled on the bumper perfectly. Also, here are pics of the beatrush rear strut bar. All I can say is the quality of the bar is awesome and the ends are thick. You don't have to worry about them flexing at all.

Looks a bit nicer than the huge frame around mine...

Damn our states for making us have these plates though.

Just bought a mounting plate...

I'm still upset I need a front plate at all, but so be it.

What thing I noticed was how meticulous the japanese are with their packaging. All the pieces were sealed in their own plastic bags instead of just one bag. I'm impressed with the quality of beatrush products. I was worried about the strut bar ends being thin and flimsy like most other strut bars on the market.

Hm... I know you're supposed to have the front plate mounted, but I've never had one on my Porsche... I've not mounted my plates on the Evo yet (just got them a couple of days ago), but I'm thinking of not mounting the front one (a lot of cars in Northern California don't have the front plate).

How many people have actually gotten tickets for no front plate? And if you do get stopped, don't they usually just give you a fix-it ticket?

Thanks!

S.

whats the difference between the stock plate and this fancy one? I never really looked closely at my front plate to be honest.

Factory is a big plastic housing the completely surrounds the plate. This one is just a little bracket so it looks more low profile.
