Default What do you think? Licence plate relocated.

I know alot of people don't like the licence plate relocation and then there's the whole trying to be JDM dicussion that has gone on, but what do you think about this. It took all of 15 minutes so I can't complain about it, and I could always put it back to stock. I just want some subtle diffences because there are so many NHBP Si's in my area.

Wild Will thanks for the opinion. I would love a HFP kit but want to wait to see if anyone comes out with a Carbon fiber front lip. I live just north of Peekskill and Work in NYC. I'm sure we'll meet when the NY meet happens some day. Haven't seen your car yet but I spend alot of time in the Poughkeepsi area and it's littered with Si's. Thanks again!

It could just be your car, but I really like the way it looks. I've been thinking about doing it myself because of the intercooler I'm going to end up with.

you want to be different? so you moved the plate over a foot?


how about a different set of wheels or something? perhaps make it faster... that'll be different.

Looks to me like it will have to be moved over some more in order to prevent it from partially blocking the flow to the intercooler.

im not feeling the look without the hfp kit, if u had it it might look better. but at least i got to see how my car would look if i put the sunroof scoop N those things on the window, as i was planning on buying those too.

Not with the way my bumper is set up. Yes it's a different bumper. No, it's not aftermarket. No it's not HFP. lol.

why relocated the license plate? better air flow or something??

you can get the red tags at passwordjdm.com

They'are about $115 for both. make sure you choose the right one (coupe or sedan).

i know what subtle means.

look up the definition ugly in the dictionary and find "JDM" relocated plates right underneath.


you made a thread for some obvious attention. whether i give you negative attention or not. its only an opinion.

subtle would be the yellow fogs or red H. i'm pretty sure your car still looks different than the other SI's in your area. in a subtle way.

You know...livin' in a state where we don't require front tags...just makes me grin knowing I don't have to worry about crap like this.

It looks good though...I might have cut the louvres out and recessed it in or recessed it in dead center but I like it as is.
