Default Where to put Licence plate

ok here is my problem i have heard people say that it looks better to put your licence plate in the not stock place. my licenceplate bolts just snapped when i tryed to replace my plate and i figured what a better time than to move my plate. i have a 93 civic any suggestions??


also how do you go about doing it cleanly?

OMG I'd better go rip it off as its impairing airflow to my radiator . Hmmm I wonder what's going to happen once the FMIC takes up residence in my bumper? That radiator is going to be hurtin'!

i figure since the intercooler is merely a heat exchanger, air will go right through it and to the radiator, if there wasnt a big metal plate blocking it
