Is it Illegal if i just get my plate stickered on the front of my windshield???

ahh i saw a car the other day with the quote on the side of it...."to enslave and punish.." love it!! kinda want one tooo

I'm a fan of the second option. Looks much better off to the side IMO.

Look at the border of the plate, you'll notice it is ever so smaller now. Basically the ridge that pops up, after it has been pressed was cut off with some metal sheers.

Sorry to high-jack your thread

looks very good on the side joe, i wanted to do the same thing but could never find a mount actually designed for the sti, only modified evo ones

Is your vent a fog light housing cover, or is it custom done? If it is a fog light cover, how did you get that fencing in there?

[Mi_Black_Pearl]

its easy actually...just take one of those aluminum metal mesh grates and cut a circular piece slightly bigger than the fog cover hole. place it on the back end and then use some duct tape to wrap it around. dont need too much as the air duct hose should hold it well in place and even that should be held in pretty tight as well (as long as its the 3"). everything comes out absolutely snug, fit, and light for this mod, its perfect for the benefits you can gain from it.

Joe ur a genius with these custom homemade mods which i thank you so much for. my car is a slight replica of his. everything i have are what he already has. lol.

btw, i like the plate mounted on the side the best. knock on wood that i havent gotten into any trouble for not having mine on yet. but if and when the time comes, i too was planning on putting it on the side...

What kind of spoiler do you have? The one I'm interested in, I only see overseas and can't find That spoiler looks great as well as the rest of the car. There are a few spoilers I would replace the factory one w/ and that is definately one of them. Badass as car!

Joe, if you could explain what you bought / did for that side mount plate, i would be appreciative as well... I've not been hassled for not having a front plate yet, but i know a few people who have locally so when the time comes i'd probably prefer that type of mount

it's the syms piece....paperchasin on the boards still sells them i think.
some other vendor does too, but i can't remember who...awesome wing, i use to have it.
it replaces the top and sides of the oem one.

I prefer the EVO license plate style. Your car is my favorite black STi as far as looks go, but are you still running stock exhaust?

[jnprn2003]

Thanks all for the compliments!

The wing is a Syms Replica

The license plate bracket is just a generic plate mount that is bolted to the fog cover. I then used door edge moulding to cover the edge of the plate.

Exhaust is not stock but a Cobb turbo back.
