Front license plate location on my Mugen bumper.

Need some opinions folks. Where do you guys think the plate look better in the middle or the side like most JDM cars.

personally I vote NONE. It looks much cleaner. Unless you get one of the expensive authentic ones that light up or even a real one from japan I say leave it off.

IMO, car looks better without plates;

if you had to put it on; keep it on the side....

Actually, why not tuck the plate behind the bumper peeking through the center opening if you must run the plate. Otherwise, like the others said, I would just skip the plate entirely.

I got pulled over once last year and got a warning parked at my work without the plate in the front. So I need to put in on. I know it look beter without it.

I would agree with CGTSX2004.
Put it behind the bumper in the center so it's tucked in all the way inside.

That's about the worst place for the plate. Just imagine it cuts like a knife during an accident for your passenger or yourself.

Wait a minute, you don't get pulled over for having a japanese lic. plate? Ohh and I'd say go with it on the side, unless stated before that you'd have air restric. to the CAI.

People drive around with many different types of plates, JDM ones, airbrushed ones, or whatever else. Your the one with the plates not me, I don't know why you would have them if you weren't gonna use them, hey maybe hang them in your garage?
