Looks clean! :number1

Welcome.

I hope cops don’t hassle you over bending the plate. I had a friend of mine that got the book thrown at him during his interaction with police and they tried to charge him with damaging state property or something along those lines :rofl

This. You already have holes in your bumper… it kind of defeats the point of a license plate relocate.

Don’t listen to them. Leaave the plate and buy OEM bumper plugs if it doesn’t already have em.

If you’re gonna relocate the plate, I say go big or go home. The make hide-away kits that mount to the underside of the bumper and are electronic, controlled by a button in the cabin. You can fold it down or back up at will.

Car looks good though. My question is, wouldn’t it have been cheaper and quicker to buy a red Si instead of converting a coupe over? I mean, I dont know because I dont price out OEM bumper covers and B16’s, or the necessary labor involved

And to answer all plate questions, the bolts are broken off inside the bumper so it is where it is.

im not gonna comment on the first part, wait … nm, i will. stupid

as for the 2nd part , if it was a red ex… it wouldnt take much to clone an si. If it was in great shape … i woulda done the same thing, its hard to find a nice unmolested si these days.

nice car btw bleez, makes me miss mine (and ps2high’s)
