eh not sure that i like where you put the plate. just go without it, it would look a lot better IMO, cops just give you warnings for that most of the time anyway...i have three already for no plate.

Yeah, it never looks good when it is off center. I would change location again.

Would look good if you could ditch the front plate. I'm sure it's required where ever you are but I don't get much hassle without mine in CO and TX where it's required.

By the sounds of it I will be taking it off and hideing it somewhere. The grill is missing a piece because that was where the plate was. I think the dealership I got it from had cut apiece of the silver part and had put holes in the grill to had the plate frame. It looks like **** I know. I will look in to adding some mesh this weekend and iam tinting the windows as will.

ditch the grill completely,
and the plate.
Do not add "mesh"
if thats what you like, go buy a honda.


my state requires a front plate, but they can only give you warnings, or "fix it" tickets.
no real fines or penalties

actually I'd be concerned over ripping that plate off hitting something, pulling in awkwardly into a angled entrance etc. , hitting something in the road, if you like how it's mounted you might want to consider raising it up a bit at least so you're not an accident waiting to happen.

I am not worried about hitting anything.

That grill came like that, I have not had the chance to change it yet.
