so the product is the BYS license plate bracket. it was purchased so that i could achieve the angled license plate look. well turns out i made a "duh-mass" move because i didn't realize that its for JDM plates. well so now i'm stuck with an expensive hunk of metal thats useless to me. as of now it seems that i might have to drill holes into my plate if i want to use this stupid bracket.

Has anyone ever run into this problem? and what was done to solve this issue?

im going to give myself a for not reading carefully before buying.

 

Sorry I can't help, but you should get rick's bracket instead.

You could probably get some brackets from home depot and make your bys work.

 

wow...i didn't even notice that..i was about to spend the $60 for that thing when i first got my s2k 3 years ago too......good thing i found a local rick's one before i could order..good luck

 

But its faster and better built...

 

I have the same BYS Bracket and I cut my liscense plate to use it. I knew I would have to do it, sense it was from a Japenese Manufacture and they never made a US version. (I actually bought it from someone who got it and did not want to drill holes in the liscense plate )

Take a drill to the liscense plate = problem solved

 

but the bys jdm bracket will give you 10 extra HP

 

Just drill it to make it work

 

Also get some mugen plate bolts so you can lower the weight over your front end which will result in faster steering response

 

That Rick's holder looks wack and solves nothing?

 

It does solve something, it allows better airflow into the radiator. One of the Best videos had a comparo between stock and no plate which showed a big difference, I'm sure the rick's bracket would make it somewhere in between.
