By setup I meant are there any good license plate holders or anything that would just make the license plate look good that you guys have?

The carbon backing actually looks pretty damn good - saw it on a local member's car and was impressed!

i got mine from Fluid Motorsports. there are some problems with them though. the right side sticks out a bit. it can be fixed by simply using some double sided tape.

I have a blue LED for my license plate, but I haven't put it on. Don't feel like getting a ticket just yet.

If somebody could measure their license plate area for me I'd really appreciate it. Considering buying the CF backing because it would look sick on black mica but don't know if my license plate area is the same size :\
