Because they're trusting souls.

Foolish, but trusting.

(P.S. - I made the same mistake when I first posted my first track picture)

Because that car is turboed, and he didn't want to block the intercooler, I met that guy before, I went with him to a track event, he has a turboed ZC in there, and that car oddly enough was in Super Street.

Just to be different... But then everyone will want to be "different" and then they'll do it and will eventually be "the same."

Hope that made sense to you, because it didn't to me...

The guy Katman, who wasn't boosted also has his plate on the side. So i guess it's to be different? Alright, thanks.

I have my license plate like that...

Probably because I like the look and because the stock mounting bracket broke...

Suprdave - Whose had it like that for 2 years.

i believe the drifters do that first, they're not moving fast enough, so they need every bit of airflow to the intercooler

i also know that drifters started it, and drifting was big everywhere but here, mostly mountainous JAPAN, so go figue, maybe to gulp up more snow from mt fuji, id unno,

but i do think it has to do with JDM drifterness

Was that a couple years back and it was painted green with stars on the hood?
