FD3s license plate mount
Hey guys! I picked up a '92 Efini Type R last week, currently combing through all the issues (fixing power windows/locks, porting wastegate, removing aftermarket wiring, etc.). Much to my surprise, the JDM license plates are a different size, so the U.S. plate only bolts up to one side and it's offset... I've tried searching through threads and pictures for the JM1FD plate mount with no avail. Does anybody have pics of the U.S. plate mount, or a suggestion for making this look less janky?

Thanks in advance,
Tanner

Wow that’s weird, I have a JDM rx7 as well and the bracket looks the same but everything lines up as it should. I’ll take a pic of it when I get home today and see if it looks the same as yours. Pretty sure it does

^ that would do it, or if you’re a DIY’er could get some flat stock from your local hardware store and drill holes

As an update, the Blox Racing license plate adapter bracket worked out perfectly! Also, my plate came in today as well
