minor aero tweeking

I have been pulled over several times for no front plate. I finally decided to mount it.
I did not put it 'on ther bumper' where it is supposed to go. I run an IMPUL body kit and have a larger than normal lower grille opening. In the back of the opening is a 6 inch wide piece that basicly holds the top and bottom apart. Can't cut it uot.
SO I put the licience plate directly in front of it. I bought a clear curved plate holder. It is smaller than a normal plate so I trimmed about 1 - 1.25 inches off the plate. Then I built a light bracket to hold it in place. Then today, I had a tought. why don't I clean up thr air flow and put 'sides' on the3 plate that extend all the way back to th piece holding the top and bottom aprt.






not a big deal.....just kinda fun!
