im just curious, why would you wana do that? i thought the evos and such had it there not to block the intercooler. but im sure you can put it up with double sided tape. def don't drill the bumper.

double sided tape wont work, lol. thatll fall off and ur a **** out of luck. people act like double sided tape is the best, but i tried it on my side skirts and they fell righ off, i had to use epoxy. so i would try soemthing else.

so you have your plate moved to the side....but there still is a big rectangular flat spot in the middle of your bumper. IMO I just think it wont look too good. Just my .02 cents

My friend did it to his... and all he did was take a big bracket that looks like an L and Screwed it to the top part of the open part of the bumper and then it cam out just perfet to where the licence plate was there but not directly against the plate.

Eh . . . . . I find it kind of odd for non-FMIC peoples. I have a subaru and when I was going to get a FMIC, one of the guys there had made some special magnetic clips that you could mount the plate on and was good till 120 mph. I never got it cuz I figure, why even run the front plate?
