Will that cover up your fogs over there?

Where did you get popped for it? Were you up in LA or Hollyweird?

Happy to live in Canada (Quebec) were we don't have front plate!

I guess your mount plate will fit, but would be sad that it hide one of your fogs. Also I bet you already have holes on the noze for the plate, now you will do others holes for the "licence plate relocator" on side?

I would just put it back on the noze and maybe put a black frame around. Paint it with the same black color as your car.

Or use the relocator plate... but put it in the center of the car. so it will not hide the noze, but it will be in the lower "grill"

No? :drinking:

I have that exact same thing & what I did was bolted it to the left but without covering the foglamp...I think it looks better if you "jdm" mount it to the side of the car rather than the middle...

I'd say mount it to the right side, before the headlight. IMO.

I already did it when I cracked my bumper and used the plate to hide the break.

It's looks nice and if you don't mind screwing with your bumper, just drill the two holes into the bumper and use the proper screws. That ebay thing is a waste.

thanks for the input guys!
the original holes I have on my plate will actually be sealed back up when I repaint my car
the reason behind chosing a relocator is that it will attatch to the bottom side of the opening on my bumper so when I take pictures I can screw it off without any noticable unsightly holes sticking out on my bumper
may do this soon but just blew a load of cash on 6000k d2s "utiliton" phillips bulbs.

Gosh Damn! I love the video of the plate on the Camaro! That's f'in sick!

If you try to have it hinged like some of the others do, make sure it locks in place. If pulled over and the cop looks at it, he should not be able to fold it down by hand.

If you don't want to drill more holes, could you put it on your dash so that it's still visible from the front?

not if you live in socal
the official law is
that the plate HAS to be affixed to the front of the car somehow
also if u put it up on the passenger side of the dash it makes the automatic headlights turn on cause it shadows the sensor.
