To prevent further police encounters... - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Turb0Surge · 10-19-2012, 09:27 AM

I got the tow hook plate bracket!!! Love the look, but it's not for everyone. So far about 50/50 ratio on positive and negative feedback.

I actually would prefer to have no front plate at all, but here in CA it's mandatory. I was pulled over last month for my blue angel eyes, and the guy was a total dbag. Either that or he was in a horrible mood, cause he pulled me over for my AE's and literally walked around the car to find more things to ticket me for.

I drove off with a tint ticket, angel eyes, no front plate, and for some reason I couldn't find my insurance card, so that too. Not really a big deal, doesn't go on my record and every offense is correctable, but for every offense I have to pay $25 to have it corrected.

Anyway... Here are some pix. Tell me what you think.

Not bad but those amber covers look like crap

iBoost · 10-19-2012, 09:39 AM

I would put the oem plate bracket on. If you like it that's all that matters

N55 · 10-19-2012, 09:56 AM

Looks good from the front... But the side view

. It sticks out too far.

Idk. I actually like how it sticks out about an inch.

jm3as · 10-19-2012, 10:23 AM

what brand did you buy? i bought the usmillworks one. it literally sits 1-2 mm from the bumper, extremely flush.

project335i · 10-19-2012, 10:24 AM

Lol I've had H&R sports for about a month and a half now... Can't get around to installing them. Maybe this weekend...

My OCD prevents me from liking anything that's not perfectly centered. So I could never do an off-center plate, especially one that sticks out that much.

Those amber covers don't look good mate. Take them off and get a black kidney grille instead.

Well yours is an e92... Maybe that's the reason why? Hmm...
