Meh, not loving the black wheels. Too slammed for my taste.

Also, what's with the off-centered plate? Why even bother putting it on? The plate is required here too, but I'd rather risk it than put it on the corner of the car. Just my opinion I guess.

Car looks good. I would personally bring the back down a hair. It looks like the back of it sits a little higher compared to the front. If you going to slam it, why only slam part of it?

As for the license plate, Ive never understood why people mount them off centered either. Can someone please explain this one?

front plate is mounted via the tow hook. it's a special adapter to mount there. that way when you are going on long trips/caravans, you can mount your plate and not worry about giving a police officer one more reason to stop you. After, you can remove the plate and just re-apply the tow hook cover....voila: no bumper holes as you would have with a regular front mount bracket/plate...

I wouldn't mind it except for the hooptie stickers he put on his windshield.

For this car, it makes sense. I was mainly questioning about imports, such as JDM cars, that purchase offset license plate brackets. Does anyone know what thats about?

the reason I got that is because I got a ticket before plus I dont want to cover the grille on the bottom of the mtech front bumper, so I end up buying this one.

Is it because the car is to low and the tires are rubbing?
