Any suggestions for front license plate space?

Orange · January 7th, 2003, 12:44 AM

Now that I am in the land of no front license plate, I don't know what to do with the space. If I take down the plastic 'plate holder' (is there a more technical name?), there will be 2 holes. If I don't, the holder looks funny without a plate. (My holder is not solid plastic, but just a plastic frame with some connections in between, if you know what I mean.)

I know you folks always have brilliant ideas. Let's see what wacky ideas you can come up this time?!

Just get them filled shouldn't cost too much and looks really good.

It is illegal to have another plate, technically.
I know BMW's and VW's have them, but....

You could get a plastic plate with the mazda logo on it...or protege5...kinda like what US cars sometimes have.
Go to your Mazda dealer...they might have one you can have!

Take off that Plate.

You can fill in the holes or buy 2 of APC's LED bolts.

The LEDs are like a bolt and not with a LED on the top of the bolt head - just install them in the existing holes.

Camera ... perhaps a laser detector is more practical for a car?!

Have not seen the APC LED bolt, but sounds interesting. Although not as interesting as Davey's avatar!

Thanks for the suggestions so far! Keep them coming!

Navy... did you suggest a ricer mod?? damn, i'm surprised that the LED bolt suggestion would come from you... lol..

as for the space... i think you should go one better than the LED bolts, and have strobe street lights installed in those holes.. or a "TPC 4 Life" sign like the Protege5 sign on the back of the car bolted to the front... some sponsorship wouldn't kill anyone...
