As it is, I'm not a fan of re-locating the plate, but the spot you chose makes me hate it even more :|

Maybe if it was more closer towards the center in the middle grill area..might look better. But I myself don't really like relocated plates either

Hope you were not planing on putting in fog lights. Also, I hope you realize that is gonna flap like a mother and scrape your bumper. Props to the idea and doing it on your own though. Just consider this version 1.0 and do a revise.

I wish we didn't need a front plate in Illinois too but I think it looks worse off to the side than it does in the center. When it's off to the side you have 1.) a license plate in the front still and 2.) ugly holes for a license plate exposed or two very obvious caps that might as well be holes for your plate. I'd rather have just an ugly plate than an ugly plate and ugly holes. you can buy hide a way plate kits if you hate it that much.

Looks out of place a little. Plus now you have the original wholes showing were the license plate is suppose to be. I think if you had a different front bumper that had no holes to start with then I would see the point of relocating. But if you like the license plate on that side then just move it up a little, it sits to low right now.
