To be brutally honest i think it looks horrific anywhere on the front of the car.
Id rock it as a regular plate in the rear tho.

The reason I said that was b/c at the recent SoCal meet, a member had something like that and it was on his rear bumper. Thought it looked great.

not sure what kind of plate that is. I have never seen that as any japanese plate. And it looks like the same size as the US plates which the japanese plates are not. they are bigger. but here in florida we cant do that. I did that on my S2000. i had the japanese rear bumper on my s2000 so i could run the jdm plate. i had my florida plate in the back window and cops always pulled me over all the time. Most were cool and just said i had to put it back and let me go. one **** wrote me up a ticket for improper plate.

Neat idea, but the only place I see this working is the rear as the License plate. I wonder if you had AP1 registered as your personal tag just how much freedom you have with modifying a license plate. You'd think you'd need the registration sticker on it at least and a State abrievation, I'd check with the DMV.

That was me with the black Japanese plate on the back of my car. I havent been pulled over yet but i'm sure I will be. I think it looks best on the back instead of mounting it on the front bumper.

I don't like. I'd leave it in the front windshield for a show or something but not to mount, especially in FL, we are blessed we don't need to have front plates... yet.

Here you go.. the prefecture means "Kanawaga Home of Nissan/Infiniti" Now just have to find out if you'll need state name, betting so. They could probably put that on as well.

well there is no way it will work on my rear. I just tried to fit it. doesnt match up at all because the japanese plate is much larger then the us plate. Again i wouldnt put it on the rear here in florida because cops are ****s and were complete *******s to me when i did that on my S2000. no point in dealing with that again. the whole using it as long as the same letters are registered could work. i guess if a cop ran the plate and it came back with the correct stuff and same car they might be whatever about it. but i am not using this plate as AP1 is the chassis code for my S2000.
