Has anybody tried to mount the front license plate holder from an Evo on to a stock bumper. Just to clarify, the ones that are off to the side. If so...pictures?

 

this is a good idea.
I'm moving back into VA one of those front plate states, however I probably won't bother putting my plate back on.

Although if I have to, seems like you could work out something to bolt into one of those ap1 grill pieces (where fogs should be)

 

i think it'll look out of place if u mount it on the side and still have those plugs up front. I would just save myself the trouble and just mount the plate in the front or not mount it @ all

 

If I lived in a state where I had to have a front plate, I think I'd design something similar to this, but that hung down and pushed in from wind, and returned to normal when the car stopped.

^^ Hmm... I've never seen anything like that before. Seems like a good idea. I live in NY where you also need a front plate, but I still don't have one on, it looks like crap with it.

 

I was planning on filling in the license plate holes and the emblem holes and then mount the license plate holder on the side.

 

im doing this right now ill let you know how it comes out.

 

this is my front end when i put on my license plate.^^

 

I believe Alfa was doing this before Mitsu and ripped the idea off.

 

I'd like to know a solution too
