I just installed a new bracket for the licence plate. Personally, I think it looks kinda out of place.
There is a $110 fine for no plate in my area, plus the attention for the police to find more stuff on the car, so its has to stay on

But what do you think? Maybe it could use a frame holder to look better? What have you guys done with those licence plates?

 

I think teh sexxayness of your intercooler rules out the plate...

 

Maybe you should try to put some kind of frame on it, it does not look too bad though. Your intercooler is what really gets all the attention.

 

I like it. Don't use a frame. It says '**** these guys that make me use a plate - just the bare legal minimum for me'.

Seriously, though. It looks great.

 

haha looks good...

 

mike don;t use a plate..i haven't been using mine sisnce i put my car on the road..don;t even display it..in your windshield. u shouldn't get bothered

 

Looks good but doesnt it block air getting to your oil cooler?

 

No all FD's have a second oil cooler.

 

how bout the people that do?

nah i like the idea if you dont have that second oil cooler..i thought the same but i rather block minimal air to my fmic then to completely block the passage to that other oil cooler..

 

I have yet to test it, but in theory this should force more air into the FMIC to the Radiator, instead of escaping through the passage(where no oil cooler is anyway )

I'm just worried about the police giving me a hard time, I'm still undecided wether to keep it on, because I may take it off.

 

if i were you take that plate and braket off and throw it in the trunk. if you get pulled over tell the cop, oh my plate JUST fell off, its in the trunk do you want to see? thats what ive been doing for the past 3 years.

 

Actually thats a good idea, I could show him the plate too and the bracket, and explain..hmmm

 

Damm honestly it looks out of place ( nicer words ) You know I have the same prob with my gen two fortunately 2nd gens front plate holders look a lot sweeter. Im sure you'll get used to it. Just stay in Ontario you'll be fine. Im sure the people there are much more undersatnding then California.

PEACE

 

Just a suggestion, what are your laws on different sized number plates?

As my car is a jap import I can get away with using any sized number plate I like as long as you can read it (no fancy fonts etc.) I currently use a motorbike plate which is approx 15cm x 3cm (I think! I havn't measured it!).

Sorry about bad pick, just taken on my phone on cigarette break!
