I mount my plate in the OEM location where the license plate holes are. If the holes aren't filled in, it looks like the biggest piece of **** in the world. I hate when I see plates all off to the side being m4d tYt3 JDM y0 and the holes still there.

i agree, i was just about to say "in the middle of the bumper where those 2 holey thingys are" Only reason mines on my grill is that a bolt broke off inside so i tried tapping a hole throught the middle hopping it'd crumble and come about but the bit broke off inside the bolt. THEN i tried reverse threading it out but that bit broke too so now i have a reverse thread bit inside of a regular drill bit which is inside of a bolt which is inside the mounting hole.......im so over it.

More legal than not having a plate at all.
