thinking about taking the badge off. I like the red I think, but I wonder if it looks too busy with the plate down there. I think the plate is there to stay, so moving it isn't really an option.

I like the red emblem personally. I don't think it looks too busy because you kind of look past the plate, especially in a state where every car has the front plate.

OK, where did you get a RED emblem?

I don't think it looks too busy either, but I think I'd shift it a tad to the left (camera perspective). Leave a little space between it and the bumper, but that's me.

Thanks for the feedback guys. It's actually just a vinyl cover, but I'm going to have my paint guy do it red for me.

I think if you do that, it will really make the emblem look good for some reason. :)

The top of it is folded back and it's ziptied through the grill

Looks great! I still do not like that plate tho! Did you just paint it or is it vinyl?

I'm thinking about painting mine b/c of all the rock chips on the black background.

Can you get away with putting your front plates up in the inside of your windsheild/dashboard?

NY law is that it has to be mounted to the vehicle. No on dash license plate.

I got 3 tickets for no front plate and then I decided to ziptie it in the lower front grill. NYPD does not **** around with the no front plate.

Nick then copied my idea and tweaked it. :p

I think if you have to have a front plate that's the way to do it, looks better down there than pasted across the bumper. Nice that AZ doesn't have front plate laws...never had to worry about that nonsense!

The red looks good...you have red calipers too?

I don't like it with your plate....If I were you I'd remove it first chance and get it in the mail to me. I'll send you a "pic" so you can see how it looks....J

I like it looks real good with the silver. How did you attach it?

I really like the look of the red badge. I'd put the plate on the bumper because it detracts from the look of the front cowl and draws your eyes to it. It also makes the badge look scrunched. But that's just my opinion.
