front license plate not centered

I recently just took of my front plate, and I wanna put it on but not centered....ive looked at other TL's and what it looks like is what would normally be (say I want to if your FACING the front of the car I want to move it to the right) that what would normally be where you mount the right skrew you mount the left one so its off centered...is that how its done? thanks!

people use these for "JDM" style

... but I personally don't like the look of the front plate anywhere on the TL... I might just take mine off again even though I'll probably get tickets for them :P

Since you have a pre-facelift 2g, I would mount it over the foglight cover.

well it's convenient, I bought the strutking relocator, but ended up never using it cuz i have fogs and it would get in the way.

this is what the strut kind plate relocator looks like on the 8th gen civics...

... or just drill holes and get zip ties... ghetto style

I'm seriously having the debate on buying a JDM front mount plate... I can't decide on having on the left side or right side. But for right now, the one that is scene with the JDM picture is the most common one people often use. You can buy it for 15 dollars online on ebay. That's where I'm planning to buy mines.

I just mounted mine "JDM style" yesterday with a few brackets from Home Depot. Came out to about $5. I can post a picture tomorrow.
