Good work. I think it looks ok, but it would be better centered IMO

Our cars don't pull of the plate to one side look very well, like all the JDM ricers do. But centered it looks like buckteeth or a squirrel or something. On mine its centered (dealership bracket, god d*mmit) but I bought one of those tinted pieces of plastic from the auto store in the plate cover section. It goes between the plate and any plate cover/frame. It helps mask it a little in front of the black grill. I can post up a pic in a little if wanted.

oops. i forgot about that detail. but the plate doesnt even bock that part. it sits nicely infront of the other plastic piece that hides all the PS lines. BTW i need to sign a ticket off, its def, coming off after i flag a cop down.
plus what do you expect for the first bracket i made with just some bolts i had laying around and a stick of aluminum.
