yea... it'll be so damn nice to not have front plate. so far i've been warned twice and ticketed twice in three years..

98 accord: no plate, no problem
03 accord: no plate, no problem
05 tsx: no plate, no problem till 2006, one warning
07 tl-s: no plate, two tickets and one warning

beaverton is getting very bitchy about every small things from 2006 and its not getting any better

i think so too. or 13mm will be better and more agressive.
but 5mm is fine for now. still gives subtle change to notice the difference.


feeling too lazy to take pics..
maybe i'll take some tomorrow for sure

Let me know if you want me to drop off my 5mm spacers at Speed so you can test fit them and see what a 10mm spacer would look like. Just dont drive with them because you wont have any thread left on the studs.
