I think.... My opinion... On these cars, the side plate is ugly as shit.. It looks good on a evo, but it sits pretty flush on them.. Our cars have that curve and just doesn't look right.. I'd drill big ass holes before I did a side mount.. That said.. I run no plate at all, I did get popped by CHP once but they wrote a fix it ticket for the tint and only meantioned the plate as reason for pulling me over.. When the fact is, they pulling everyone over late night because of a really bad accident involving the chief son street racing and almost losing his life..
Hid bulbs that are to blue, pulled over, loud exhaust, pulled over.. Car to low, or truck to high... Pulled over.. It was crazy to drive after midnight for awhile in Barstow |

I think my car looks just fine with the offset. I got the Grimmspeed offset and I have it positioned at a good angle with the car. I got pulled over the other day though because the cop said I needed a front plate. I told him it was up there and made him look stupid. Anyways, to each their own, I love mine and when I move to a different state that doesnt require a front plate, I will not have any holes drilled in the bumper. I have an extra $3 tow hook door that I did not drill out for the offset.

Tow hook all the way. So side profile.
If WA state allowed no front plates then I'd take the front plates off in a heartbeat.

In Wisconsin the law is in effect so that its easier for state patrol to bounce radar off of, side mount tow hook plates don't help them any but are still legal. And a state cop will pull you over in a heartbeat without a front plate every time. The way I see it, side mount is the only way to go.

I fought the law and I won............
I live in Texas and will never put a front plate on even though it is the law. Lived in Northern Virginia (DC suburbs) for years and never had a front plate on any of my cars even though it was the law and was never hassled about it. One officer noticed it, but I just told them that the parts were on order as I bought the car out of state, and he just said that I should try to get the parts as soon as I could. This car (BRZ or FR-S) deserves to have a clean front nose......

I was only pulled over once, that's the excuse they used.. Like I said meantioned it but didn't ticket me for it.. Gave me a fix it for my tint.. The rest of those are reasons they are pulling people over.. Basically for anyone that mods thier vehicals.. It was stupid for a bit around there
