Front license plate relocation.

Just got pulled over by cops coz no front plate. Just warning, no ticket.

I leave in CA. I know it is illegal here and I still intentional pulled front plate off last week because it was blocking my recently installed Racing Beat ram air duct and render it less effective or useless....
I also hate rabbit tooth look.

I have RX-8 MT (2 oil coolers), MS kit and fog lights.
Any place that you would recommend to install it?
I am thinking of lower corner passenger side but still, look like it will block an oil cooler or a fog light.

This is how I have mine as well without the bending of the plate though. Works decent but I do need to take it off during track days as this location actually blocks the biggest part of the air going to the radiator. Car actually was going up in temp. Once I took the plate off never had the problem again. For street use never had an issue. I think it looks much better here as well.
