Ehhh, more like what I did over this past weekend:
Car was due for a wash and clay, plus applied Aerolon Tech Shine afterward. Took the car out for some photos.

Got pulled over by Oregon State Police for no front plate...luckily I got a warning. Went to the closest Walmart and got some zip ties and secured it on there for now till I get a relocation kit.

Eh, my OCD doesn't like the asymmetry of the tow-hook off-set look, so I don't mind the "buck teeth" especially since the front black trim matches the custom black Texas plate and frame on my car. |

I used to live in Texas, but I forgot about the black custom plates because I barely saw them. Yeah, a black plate and frame would look great. I never thought about that.

All cars look bad with a front plate. Every make and model have a place dedicated for a rear plate, but none have one for the front.
While some look better than others, they all look like they have buck teeth. I wished all states would just forgo the front plate altogether. Or at least go with something slimmer like the Euro countries have. |

Not completely true. My son's Focus has a place for the front plate built into the front bumper cover. It definitely looks better that way, as you say.

Lateral lips? You mean the sideskirts? Those are OEM TRD Kouki sideskirts.
