When I had my Civic, I just bought a Cusco license plate relocation kit. Wasn't too pricey, worked really well, easy to install. I'm pretty sure it'd fit well on the S2K's bumper (In fact I'd like to do that mod sometime this year). I picked my old one up at Garage5 and installed it in my front yard haha.

just looking for ideas on how to mount the plate closer to the side of the bumper so it doesn't obstruct overflow

edit: my bad, i guess the relocation kit you had helps prevent the obstruction of airflow

if you had the license plate angled enough in the front grill, with space on the top and bottom of the plate (it would have to be quite angled though), do you think air flow would be enough to cool the rad nicely compared to just having it perpendicular to the ground and blocking most of the air?

just a general question, open to ppl's thoughts/ideas

I am interested too. I had previously talked to steve about where he picked his up from and he told me an auto parts store.

Let me know what you find.

the tape was to cover the bolts, then I kept on taping hahah, Umm also put bubble wrap behind it so it didn't scratch the paint, also stuck on with tape...white electrical tape

I just used a bracket from my moms pedal bike reflector, and bolted it to one of screws under the bumper.
