I am lucky to bein a state that it is not required but my car did come with the factory one. If anyone needs it let me know.

So much for the OP opening statement of "We all hate having front plates".

It offsets the driver, duh. Only RHD have that problem.

I couldn't care less about a front plate or not, but do prefer no plate when I'm running over cones... Once they get bent up from that its never the same. So I use the magnet trick.

Oh they would have to come off for that for sure.

I get a special alignment so I don't go in circles.

I had the Grimmspeed bracket and bought the Raceseng on sale last year.

Grimmspeed = no complaints. Nice product, nice price.
Raceseng = baller status. Really nice option if you do track days. Switch between your front plate and a tow hook in about a minute with a 4mm allen and 25mm wrench.

What about a retractable one?

Why do you guys hate engine cooling so much?

Because a 5% reduction in surface area does not impact engine cooling on a street driven car in any way.

You posted a picture of one of the few cars that has it mounted correctly. 99.345276% of cars I've seen with stock mount in the center have it mounted incorrectly much lower..

This is how mine is. Even mounted lower we are still talking under 10% which would have no impact at all on a stock car the street.

Now, if you have a bunch of coolers stacked and are hitting the track hard then ya it could be a concern.

Agree.

You happen to pick a car in the fastest color too.
