Front and Rear licence plate holder removal?

[i12drivemyMP5]

IMO, there's no good place for the front plate. The side thing is just different than the middle, not any better. On the back you could just take off the plastic & put one of those plastic car dealer tags behind it to protect the paint but will probably have to drill the plate to fit the mounting holes on the hatch. Again, different but not necessarily any better.

well I will have to let you know how it goes when I pull them off this weekend. how would the plate scratch the paint, all it does is sit there? I don't know, all I am adding is my opinion as well. And I think our cars would look nicer without the plate holders on them.

Is that stock height?

all stock suspension parts as far as I know. I bought the car used so how knows what someone else might of put on it. I bought P5 Mazdaspeed springs for my car. So I hope i'm going to get a good 1in drop out of those springs. I am just a little undecided of what shocks and struts to go with. I also have a nice little Mazdaspeed sway bar kit to put on the car as well. I think it should look pretty nice after the drop with the 18's

I'll have to check in to those. Either one are pretty good, does one of them have some kind of ride adjustment?

hmmm plate holders?

 

[dxaveP5]

yea those tilt brackets are cool but i just dont like it on the front of my car.
i prefer it be relocated on the side near the fogs or the bottom on the side.
or none at all

[i12drivemyMP5]

Cone course in a parking lot for you to slalom thru & around in an effort to achieve the best time.

 

[dxaveP5]

sounds like a blast. Their is none of that going on around over here though. I am just looking for some shocks that are going to give me a nice ride with the car being lowered a little. Not a fan of those tilted licence plate brackets. I think mine is fine right where it is.

illuminas will give u good comfort.

good looking out. when I first got my ride, I wasn't sure if I liked it. although the more things I do to it, the more I am starting to really like the car.
