Yep, I'm the one making a big deal about it.

No, I'm saying you're making a big deal out of drilling holes in the bumper. Like it's strange or something.

You people can stop saying it's been explained to me. Your reason is just dumb. I can't believe you'd rather make your car look ugly than just have a license plate in a normal place.

I never crapped on anyone here before. But I freely admit I'm super crapping on all these hideous license plates that have become trendy. That's the worst part: that someone saw one posted one day, another person probably said "oh that's cool I'm going to do that too!" so you guys enclosed yourself in a bubble where you thought it looked good.

Hmmm...

Why not let people do what they want? They're not hurting anybody and unless you're losing sleep from where people put their license plates I'd try not to think too much of it. I'm sure there are things that you like that most people wouldn't like themselves.

It's preference. Some say potato I say potato? There's an unnecessarily overt emphasis for where a hunk of metal is placed than trying to be happy for another person for enjoying something that they have. I personally like it when a plate is where it would normally be but I don't see how that matters?

I'm posting because I'm emotional at the moment...about license plates. I don't know why. But if I were to say why not let people do what they want, well sometimes people get into bubbles where they think everyone likes what they've done. Sometimes it's useful for someone objective to say "hey that looks hideous." And let's not pretend that cars aren't something where aesthetic is important.

It's not like it matters what you think.
Hellaflush stance bro is still a thing even though it looks stupid.

You know what looks hideous? Drilled holes in your bumper. Quite a few states do not require a front plate, and I may be moving to one that doesn't, so why would I drill holes in my bumper that I might not end up needing to use? I think a front plate looks ugly on these cars no matter where you put it. On my previous car, it was centered, and it looked like a buck tooth. It looked so bad I eventually removed it entirely even though my state required a front plate.

Youve already voiced your opinion. Several times. You've made your point. Now either move on, or you're going to get yourself banned for being an annoying troll.

I think the only time you'd want to step in to take a stand to shake people of a certain mindset, would be if it were something serious... you know, like bigotry or something...But these are just sheets of metal.

But theres a bigger picture! Wouldn't you feel better knowing that there are people who are enjoying what most people might not be fortunate to have, whether it be having a license plate here or there, slapping overfenders on it, or turning their car into a drift missile, and really just having a little fun with their car?

Life's short, rock an asymmetrical license plate. No ones dying from them either.
Or not! see, its all preference.. but the minute the you use words like "hideous" to describe another person's anything, you probably need to step back and see the bigger picture.

Nah drilled holes are usually covered by a license plate. I don't see your point. I've never seen this on other cars. Most people don't move states that often. But if you do, deal with it then somehow.. and if you're not planning on moving don't make your car look dumb.

I've seen this trend FAR too much for it to correlate with just a bunch of people who happen to be moving soon.

Center license plates are like freckles. People ignore them because they're normal and become invisible to our views of cars.

Sure, banned for voicing an opinion that's negative. Pretty typical of standard forums.
