I think you're better off not running a front plate than replicating one

You should photocopy your driver license and show it in roadblock, it would be epic

What I don't get is why ppl don't like holes drilled into their bumpers for front plates, but people are okay drilling holes, say for a front lip lol.

I have a friend who forgets his wallet way too often simply made a certified copy to leave it on his car permanently; not that he has ever been ticketed, but for a peace of mind.

I don't fucking get it. Constantly people run around in circles to avoid running a front plate in the proper mounting location in a province that requires them, in a country, and continent, and world where most places require them. Just mount your fucking plate for fucks sakes.

If it bugs you that much, put on the towhook or something like that, cars can look good with front plates.
Additionally, I want cars to have a front plate so they can be identified in case of accident, from a distance etc.

3.011 Number plates issued for a vehicle[...] must be attached
(a) one plate to the front and one plate to the rear of the vehicle, if 2 number plates are issued for a vehicle, and
(b) to the rear of the vehicle, if a single number plate is issued for a vehicle.
3.02 A number plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position to the vehicle for which it is issued.
| So as long as it's horizontal. Some legal ambiguity as it doesn't specify maximum allowable angle to horizontal. Towhook mounts usually have it around 10deg angle to the right hand side, so who knows how "horizontal" is interpreted.

I've gone through the police roadblock at the Market Crossing meet a while ago with my front plate zip tied onto my mr2 and way off-centered. They didn't seem to care as long as there's a plate. If there was a time or place to get hassled it would've been there haha

Also the kits should come with two sets of bolts -- one for mounting and one for plate alignment so no they are not crooked.

Sure they look okay, but if you're going to get hassled as much as having no plate you might as well just not even bother. A towhook mount would probably be the best idea if you don't want to drill holes but most of the time those look worse (IMO) than having the plate in the centre.

Thanks for the reply guys! I don't have a problem with my front plate, I just wanted to see if there's another option to display it especially when my new bumper comes. I'll just mount it properly in the middle.

I find plates on the side terribly ugly and gives off an imbalanced look. If anything, it would stand out more than if it was just mounted in the middle.
If I had a Lexus, I wouldn't even think about not having a front plate. IMO, they're the only cars that legitimately look better with a front plate on so their stupid hourglass grill doesn't look ridiculous.

on turbo cars a lot of people do it so it doesn't block off the top half of the intercooler as well (assuming it's a front mount). to each their own, I prefer the plate centered too but if it's that versus not having to put 2 holes into the centre of your bumper, I think the choice is obvious
