    Like I said, I really like the way it looks.

            as a matter of fact, I just ordered one of the historic black with yellow letters plates for the car and had it personalized. I am so glad that "BRONZIT" is 7 digits long and that no one driving a bronzit in california was proud enough to put it on their license plate

                    If someone sends me a hole saw, I'll drill some holes in my bumper.

                        that's my car that was posted on page 1. i did it because my bumper and trim were already suspect to begin with and i think it looks cool and aggressive.

                        also i did it in a way to remove the stock plate bracket mounting holes which are uglier than my new holes. and i hate front plates so i didn't want it to look like there was even supposed to be one there. i don't regret it.

                        also my trim looks euro but it's not, just filled/sanded/painted stock stuff. so i definitely didn't ruin anything special. the fiberglass bumper core is really heavy so the weight savings are actually measurable. not much but worth it to me since i like the way it looks.


                        ps it looks cooler on real racecars too. ljs porsche has some iirc and it looks rad as fuck.

                          Where were you when I started this thread?? haha basically you just mentioned the other small reasons I decided to do it. Get rid of the license plate holes, my trim and bumper were all messed up, it looks cool

                              You did good making them in line with one another.
                              How do the LED turns fair against stock? Brighter? Can you use a stock lens with them?

                                Looks good. It's a shame we have to run front number plates in Australia, or I'd do the same.
