Rep Power: 340 I would go by the local law. If it's required, leave it on - not worth getting a ticket over.
Either way though, I'd probably leave it on. It's not worth the trouble of shaving.

It looks awesome off, but like white2k2ex said... depends on local laws. You could fab up a custom bracket that comes out you lower grille and holds your plate, which could detach easily for pics/ car show/ etc. A friend of mine did that with his new tc out of billet alumn. It looks really clean

Rep Power: 296 Your supposed to have it in Ohio, but i'm not putting it on the front. So i say shave it off. Remember that when you shave it off there will be a hole because its not solid behind the plate.

Rep Power: 0 ^^ what he said.... I wouldn't do it... pluggin a hole the size of a license plate in a plastic bumper would be more work than I'd want to do.. and it won't last long if you don't know what you're doing...
