That actually looks worse since that big crash bar cover is the perfect place to mount it.
Hoooold up, so you are telling me you do not like side mounted plates?????

Have you Seen the Evo? Have you seen the Bugatti Veyron? Have you seen an Alfa Romeo 4C or other Alfas.

These are awesome cars that can't actually pull off a centered plate because they need the opening for air intake.

No I'm not, because that's not what I said you dunce. In that picture there's a huge flat bar going across the front, so moving the plate the plate to make the ugliest part of the car more visible is a bit daft.

So I can't do this then?

lol, yes let me just put a license plate over my modified 400hp car because who needs air into the radiator. All that matters is that it looks good right?

I've seen others say the exact same thing. You think the cop can't go look at it and see the little motor and shit?

If you crouch down it is literally obvious the plate is on a motorized hinge.

So you will likely get an even worse ticket then just not having it...

Do yourself a favour get an RHO plate mount bracket, and take it off for show's or when taking pictures. Or else enjoy the VI's and possible harassment that comes with not running a plate.

If your plate covering slightly more area than your bumper already does causes you heating problems, I'm sorry but your car is pretty shitty.

First time I've seen someone put in so much effort for a small forum disagreement

Anyways, I think the e92 in the first post would probably be better off with a tow hook mount.. doesn't really block much of anything and would probably look a bit better than that sticker. The sticker plate looks cheap on that car while everything else looks expensive..
