Looks like you're covering part of your foglights, I definitely wouldn't want to do that....oh well, here's where everyone chimes in and say "Don't listen to George"

just the angle of the picture. It isn't covering anything. The adapter is screwed in from underneath

I think the symmetry is off when it is on the side.

I like the retractable. An added bonus is hiding your plate in a parking lot from the pigs (back into the space). Those pieces of **** drive through parking lots a lot and store all of it (and are using it to build a big database for tracking).

Take front plate and bracket off the bumper, drive. What's so bad about that?

Yes I know it's illegal in some states but I have had mine off since the day I bought it. None of the cops gave me crap about it.

I used to have one of those retractable plates on my old I30. Mounted all the way at the bottom of the bumper so you can literally hide it under the car. Not off center or anything, never was a fan of that unless on certain cars like a EVO or something.

I hate front plates, most cars look much better without em. But here in good ol' VA it's the law and yes they have pulled me over for it.
