Can I see a close up of how your licence plate looks like? Why can't we have such small stealth ones here in NY?!

Its just a bad picture. Allthough i'd expected the fit to be better than it is, had to do quite some adjustments with the hood-hinges. Still i dont think its 100% :S
The original seems wider, so now i got bigger gaps between the hood and wheel-wing! But atleast i got the looks
