Why did you want it set off to the side like that vs. using the bracket in the middle?

Love the car, just think the plate looks even more tacked on now.

I don't know, I just like this way.

Maybe I'll put on FMIC later on?

It really would be nice if we either had Euro-style plates or none at all.

I hate the way the square plate ruins the aesthetics of the front end.

I would just love it if we had Euro style plates..

I just got a great deal on the tow plate, so I just installed it. My excuse would be.. now it's one less thing to worry about getting pulled over by cops. I never got a ticket for not having a front plate for the past 5 years, but I was always kinda worried when cop car was in front of me. So yeah..

Thanks! Yeah, I really want to put some RPF1s with some good tires, but I just can't see myself taking off those stockies..

I remember back then STi owners who got rid of their STi wing used bumper plugs to plug those holes up. You can even paint the plugs and then plug them in so that it somewhat matches.

Its the cheaper alternative.

I noticed that some pictures were squished when I was on my computer at home this morning before I left for work.

But now that I'm at work and on my laptop, they're fine.

They recently changed some parameter here on AZ so if I picture is too big, it'll resize it but not proportionally. That's why some of the pics are squished.

It was brought up in one of the C&P threads. Srika knows about it.

If you look at that photo earlier in the thread, it doesn't look like it's in the native resolution the photo was taken in ... it looks like the horizontal dimensions have been reduced without the corresponding change in height.

Oh.. why did it happen on that picture in the first place?

How did you fix it? Thanks!

Your photos look fine in flickr.
It's AZ's automatic resize that doesn't resize them proportionally that's the culprit.

If you want to fix it, you would need to change the dimensions of the photos you originally posted.

I got one recently. It's annoying to be pulled over and it was $60. Meanwhile crotch rockets are doing 100mph in a 55mph zone all over the place

Trust me, no plate in the front is what I like, but I just want to put one to be safe and done.
