Hideaway License Plate

3002 tii · 08-02-2009, 06:22 PM

I'm getting my front bumper resprayed so I figured I should use this time to get my front bumper license plate holes refilled/painted and start using a hideaway plate. I need your guys' opinion though, do you think I should do it off-centered or centered?

Considering that I will be running the plate most times, I was inclined to first put it in the center. But being that are cars are so low, it seemed the plate would look really awkward hanging that low. When I tried it off-centered, it didn't look too bad nor did it get in the way of the fog light. Thoughts?

Sorry, no pics... didn't have anyone to snap shots while I was "test fitting"

By the way, I have an 07 coupe si.

A friend used the hide-a-way plate on his Audi A4. He lost the plate driving at high speeds with the plate in the hidden position. The system is easy to install and looks nice.
