Default Front Plates

I dont want to put on that stock and ugly front license plate holder. Since I live in California I need front plates, do I have an alternative to the stock plate holder which is ugly, big and mounts the plate dead center??

There is a front plate relocator but it puts the plate below the bumper in front of the lower grill. That may be OK for non-turbo but you have a GT and others have said the relocated plate interferes with the air flow to the intercooler.

I live in NY too, and find having the front plate on the bumper lets the plate take the damage when my neighbors 'park by ear'.

KOOL! Can I park on your lawn too?
(and the proximity of my parked-on-the-street-and-run-thru-automatic-car -washes-every-month-or-two pt will make yours look even better!)

Here is my latest plan. Going to try and mount the stock plate bracket under the stock bumper in the black mesh area slighty off to the passenger side. Think I can mount it with two of the six holes in the stock bracket. Dont think that will interfere with much air flow!! Thoughts??
