Default Shaved carbon fiber trunk pics?lisence plate?

Ive looked eveywhere..Im trying to find a 92-95 civic with a shaved carbon fiber trunk...i want to see where the best place to mount the lisence plate is once its off the trunk.?? I have a hatch but im sure a coupe will work for the lisence plate idea.

Or maybe some pics of alternate lisence plate locations other than the trunk. (dosent have to have carbon fiber trunk) thanks

if i would do that, i would use suction cups and mount the license plate on the inside of the rear hatch window..

im not wanting to do any drilling on the bumper. I didnt know if they made kits that had some insane magnets that could hold from the other side of the bumper

Well then you're S.O.L. I guess.

You could fab up a bracket to go over the tailgate from the inside, and sit just outside of the rear hatch glass, but you wouldn't be able to open your hatch.

yea i was thinking about the bracket to come from underneath....but here in west tennessee cops dont car about lisence plate lights...just as long as you have a plate. I have the lights shaved off the hatch right now..is that illegal anywhere?
Any idiot could unscrew my one screw and take my plate..wouldnt be hard to take weather it be one screw or magnets?

The amount of shaking and jostling that your car will do on a daily basis will pose more of a danger of falling off or damaging your paint due to sliding than just screwing the plate into your bumper or fashioning a bracket yourself.

i will probably try do the bracket idea. I just dont want it to look so cluntered cause i have the golden eagle tow hook back there but hopefully it wont look to bad. But the hatch hasnt came in yet. i might just get my money back for it.

You can just tuck the bracket by keeping the plate about as low as the lip you know. It doesn't have to be up in the middle of the bumper.
