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.

I followed this DIY for a no-drill option with the OEM front plate bracket. Works great.

IMO mounting the plate in the middle makes the car look like it has buck teeth or something (sorry if I just ruined your car for you ). I just have a tow hook mount. Some people like the plate in the center, but I dont mind it being off to the side.

Lol. No worries!

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.

Dude I have a white BRZ and standard Texas plates are white...needless to say, as soon as I put the front plate on, my car turned into a fucking rabbit instantly lol

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.

Looks amazing!

What's your setup for suspension and where do you find these lateral lips?

Thanks! I'm on @Racecomp Engineering Yellows, Sachs dampers from PP, camber bolts in front, and SPL rear lower control arms.

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

How to protect front bumper? I have a big dent from a tire jumped from a front SUV and some paint scratches.
