I can understand why the front plate kills it, and I can certainly see how it might ruin the flow of these kinds of pictures. However, as for my own opinion (this might sound weird to you guys) I kind of like having the front plate there on the non-sport bumper. Maybe its just me, but i think the bump in the middle of the non-sport bumper looks kind of funny to me. With the plate on, it kind of gives it a flatter look, which looks better to me. BUT, eitherway I have a sport bumper w/o the front plate waiting to be put on at the end of the year, or maybe next year.
