I just have my back one and keep my spare plate under the seat
I don't even keep my second plate in the car anymore...

Anyone use the magnets or come up with creative ways to mount the plates?

My temp expiration is comin up so I will be faced with this dilemma.

If you bought the Evo X it should come with it. I thought I didnt get one and was ready to buy one when I was suprised it was hidden next to my spare tire

i like it like that. zip ties.. if you go to the car show or track, 1 minutes to take them off. Then 1 minutes to put them back.
On the street wont have any problem, even if you do a high way pull. Since those are usually less then 1 minutes runs

This really blocks to much air. remember your AC and Oilcooler and in there as well.

this gave me an IDEA. What if you silk screened a picture of your front plate on the FMIC. they may pass. I will have to look into this. any one great with Photochop. give a pic.

Well the oil cooler is in the other side.. also just take a look at you intercooler the plates doesnt even cover over more the 2 inches. so no you dont need to worry about cooling. If you need to do that, then that is going to be more than the license plate position issue.

take a look again :

^That's cool and all, but I (personally) refuse to block any part of my intercooler. I also refuse to drill holes. I'm going to figure out a magnet solution when I get this car. So shall it be written, so shall it be danced!!!

Here in TX the plates are aluminum so you better check yours out first. magnets wont be helpful.
