New spot for licence plate, what you think?

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?

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.

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.

Pay the ticket

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!
