Default Shave the front? Keep it stock?

Got a 1998 front end..should I shave the emblem and license plate holes or keep it the way it comes?

Pics of your shaved bumpers would be nice. thanks.

do what i have
shaved front and make yourself a bracket for when you need your plate.

ie keep plate under floor matt, hit a road block put it up in advance

ie get pulled over ask the cop for 14 days to show him you got the plate up (use the excuse my body shop is custom making one for me) then a few days later go show him. then take it back off.

I was going to do both, but i ended up just shaving the emblem. I think it looks much better! doing both would look even better though!

What he said I actually dont like the integra without a front emblem. Depends. Sometimes it looks good sometimes it doesnt. I would get some red honda badges.
