One of the few things our current Ontario premier proposed that made sense was dropping Ontario’s front plate requirement. He chickened out in the face of opposition from police leadership.

i actually like the 1dt gen brz with a license plate. also growing up watching best motoring vids in japan where plates are required i guess i dont hate them as much as other people i think. sometimes a plate provides a nice break in a shape or color.

I think the new pig nosed 4 series looks better with the front plate....
cuz its masks the pig nose somewhat.

But it looks best in black...cuz then you cant see the pig nose much lol.

I'd still like to hear from a designer on why they don't better incorporate front plates into vehicles when front plates are mandatory in more countries than not.

The funny part is that dropping it and adding things under the side wings will completely defeat all the marketing hyped aero purpose of them!

And how the running board runs up into the rear quarter and the heavier ridge above the wheel at least makes it look like one continuous car!

Well now im convinced that I could get a Subaru BRZ, and my first mod would be to body colour the side vents! And maybe the lower chin spoiler bit too.
Or just get a black one.....nahh going Subaru, i want the WRB.

Still gotta see what the Toyota face looks like (anyone know when they're gonna reveal their version? I heard the Tokyo Auto Salon in January could be it)

Bigger grille solved my biggest problem with this car, now it looks more like a BRZ than a weird RX8

I have been seeing plates on the front of cars for so long that I don't think they look bad at all. In fact I rarely even notice them. I just dress them up a bit and they come a part of the overall look of the car. Cars with NO plate on the front look weird to me. From my perspective the whole front plate is much ado about nothing.
