EVO 8 License Bracket

Alright...I got tired of being pulled over for not having a front licence plate. Twice now...luckily no tickets though.

Heres a few pics...

hey mcbrown, is the top part of your bumper, right above the intercooler opening, warping due to excessive heat?

I hate my Kaminari front lip...it's warped as hell and I'm in the market for a new one. No, heat had nothing to do with it...I think when the Body shop installed the mesh grilling they did it too tight and it warped...

I'm either gonna cut it away so the intercooler has more room to breathe or get a new one. Just dropped more $$$ on full exhaust, clutch, and short shifter so "show" has to wait. Will probably go Tein Super Street before I bother with the damn front end...

Fixed it...check it out! It's kind of ghetto rigged, but it is functional. Opened up the intercooler opening quite a bit. Also got my EVOLUTION2 Greddy exhaust. Wow, the resonator is huge..way quieter than my Magnaflow Axelback. Perfect fit and finish. Have been very pleased with all Greddy products.

nice job man.. u ever think of cutting the bottom, center portion of the bumper and just putting a CF splitter in there so you have more "breathing room"?

and btw, how the hell do you see out of those ganador mirrors? .. they're madd small
