I happen to think my STi looks rather nice like this.

But now it's asymmetrical.

And you already had the best color!

The front plate in California is a hard struggle: Ticket or aerodynamics.

I really love that color on that car. The offset tag is cool too.

I’m trying to figure out what the advantage of moving the plate was. Does it actually help drag or cooling when put off to the side on the STI? Is the front fascia really that sensitive?

I don’t actually know of any performance benefit, it might help with cooling but I just did because I like the way it looks.

I really do like it. Had to put down a deposit on it like 2 months early to get it, totally worth it

For some reason that doesn’t bother me actually

Are you still going to perform the spoiler delete? It’s just that it looks... so wrong with no spoiler. Keep it.

Nope, I’m keeping the spoiler.

I prefer the centered/symmetrical look... but to each his own..

Just ordered me one of these: http://garagestar.com/blog/?product=…

Got a new front bumper and I do not want to drill holes in it. Plus I don’t want extra cop attention by running no front plate!

Nice! I went with the Perrin one that screws directly into the tow hook

Looking good! I'm a sucker for blue cars. That shade of Blue is beautiful on your car.

I just ditched the front plate on my Camaro last week. Hated the way it looked. I’ve got a clean record and I only drive it occasionally so I’ll take the risk on getting a ticket for it.

Yup, this does the same thing. I saw that Moss Miata makes one too but doesn't work with the mazdaspeed bumper that I had bought.

I’m doing the VW scene thing of keeping my front plate on the dash up against the glass.

yay for new front bumper I’m not drilling holes in

You’ll get ticketed for that, it has to be if front of the front wheels.

You’d be better off with it in the trunk and telling them it fell off if they ask.

my car was in the shop a week ago. my excuse is I haven’t had time to re-mount it.

I'm getting a tow-hook mount for it in a few days anyway

You should clean up those bolt holes first ;)
