G0DZLR Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 just looking for peoples opinions... had the thought of remounting my front numberplates off to the side, for a jap look. and also to look cleaner as my current plates bend inwards >.< (need low profiles methinks) do you think this has been overdone/is an old fad?

75coupe Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just a tip don't follow fads... it just makes you look sheepish... Just make modifications to your car on a needs basis... Does your number plate interfere in the air flow to your intercooler or radiator, if yes move it, if no don't... easy just looking for peoples opinions...had the thought of remounting my front numberplates off to the side, for a jap look. and also to look cleaner as my current plates bend inwards >.< (need low profiles methinks) do you think this has been overdone/is an old fad?

Does your number plate interfere in the air flow to your intercooler or radiator, if yes move it, if no don't... easy Did you "need" to put those vinyl graphics on your car, im sure they dont add any increases in power, sarcasm aside my point is, if you think it looks good or will benefit you in any way then do it, its your car, you dont modify it on a 'need-to' basis, you do it because you like to, correct?

turbo_brian Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 just looking for peoples opinions...had the thought of remounting my front numberplates off to the side, for a jap look. and also to look cleaner as my current plates bend inwards >.< (need low profiles methinks) This is my opinion only, and based on the fact I do a LOT of work with SES, and therefore around a lot of police as well (and it also doesn't help me in the fact that on another car forum, there are a number of highway patrol guys that come to regular events when off duty). Anyway, I personally rather mine in the stock position in the centre, get Slim-line plates, and the plate wont effect air flow, or if your an engineering type, you can make a bracket to angle the plate at a 10 - 12 degree angle to push wind down into the front of the car, which will actually help your car (be it miniscule, every tiny little bit does help). I have had talks with friends that wear blue uniforms, and they have said that side-mounted numberplates on cars that where not stock like that seem to catch the eye a little, and that means they have noticed the car, and are now looking at you wondering why they noticed it. If you want a sleeper, slim line plates in the stock position, if you have a nice weekender that you want noticed, then side mounted plates, custom body kit, etc will do the trick. Something to remember though, if your building a car to be noticed by the by-standers, you need to remember it will also be noticed by the boys in blue, because deep down somewhere inside them (just a small bit of them anyway) is actually human, and humans do notice nice cars.
