I think without the plate holder, the front bumper looks to smiley.

If you are concerned with an overall "look" (as you should be) my opinion is to go more "total" aftermarket and get a different bumper.
99 spec bumper + 99spec wing= winner
93-95 bumper +wing or no wing = winner
all aftermarket may be a winner if it has a total package look

the dark gray 99 spec shown in previous post is a good example of taking a total package and tweaking it a bit. It has 99 bumper/wing +modest sidekirts and the non-outlandish diffuser sets it off and gives a touch of aggression.
I wouldnt have smoked the turns but it still looks right as a package.

Using 99spec front and then going totally different towards the rear... i dont know id have to see it

The opening is the same shape with or without the plate. It's literally impossible for it to be less smiley unless you're simply distracted looking at the plate.

I notice a difference too between plateless aftermarket and ones that have been hacked using a 93-95 donor.
The hacked ones look better imo because the aftermarket ones seem to have a slanted nose which makes the distance from emblem to the mouth look really long.
whereas the hacked ones get the donated 93 rounded nose.

Aggressiveness on the stock body is all about the wheel fitment IMHO. Therefore it's a dangerous game to play if you don't want most of RX7club to rag on your car
