so I just got pulled over last weekend and got one of those pesky and much hated tickets for not having a front license plate, I am debating where and how i want to mount it, anyone have any ideas rather then just putting it in the front on the black grill? i have the stock front bumper and lip, pics would be nice as well, thanks

 

mine wedges between the windshield and dash nicely

 

That doesn't fly in CA.

nor in NJ.

I saw a guy with a Mazdaspeed 3 who had a plate bracket mounted into where the front tow hook goes, preventing him from drilling the bumper. Perhaps thats available for the rx8 somewhere?

wonder if that would work where the lip is on the 8, you think?

also yeah plate in dash and winshield wont fly in cali lol, and as for where the tow hooks are dont get me wrong but that kinda sounds ghetto lol, have a pic? for some reason when i try to picture that in my head i picture it hanging below the bumper lol

 

If you search the DIY, there is a kit that replicates the EVO look.

 

no, the screw in tow hooks, middle of the front bumper. I'll try to find an example, but i saw it on a car in person lol. Honestly it looked super professional, looked like the plate was hovering just in front of the bumper. By far best way ive ever seen to mount one.

here's some links of an official one (tried inserting their pics) and a homemade one:

ah cool thanks, ill try that, is it stickied? i went through some pages and checked the stickies, sometimes i get **** for not searching, how do you search on the forum? is there like a search box some where?

 

i googled it, since i have yet to see it on an rx8, only on that one speed3 i worked on.

nevermind, i think i found it, i dont really like how he did it because the plate ki8nd of looks crooked on the side of the bumper, i like the plate holder on ebay, just wonder how it would look on the 8

 

oh ok thats pretty cool

 

just google "mazda, tow hook, license plate"

kevin.

 

ah just realized the one on ebay you can hide so dont have to have it up all the time, that is sick, i am deff going that route. thanks for the help and info guys

 

Ca. has a lot of laws. I finally can drive without fear of no front plate and tinted front windows. Moved out of the state and in Fl we have neither. Plus registration is about $35 a year.

 

very nice
