i want it to be in the center.

Id rather not have a license frame bracket on the front. Some states dont require em. But if its a must, then driver side.

That would block your FMIC.

Even though my state requires a front plate, I have never had one in 20+ years; I hate the look

My province, BC, requires a front plate. I have seen the plates mounted on the left side, but I would prefer no front plate. You can only get away without a front plate for so long here, eventually the cops will stop you and give you a ticket, or if you are lucky they will just give you an order to afix your front plate, and this requires an inspection. It looks so good without a plate up front, but a nice slim one, like they have in Europe, might work in the center or on the left side.

I am getting my license switched over to another without front license plates because it takes away so much from the evo

drivers side but i would perfer none if i could get away with it {duhhh}

diver side but here intx we require one.and i'm certain that the cops will say its got to be centered.

in cali you can have it on the dash it just has to be visable from the frnt
center mount would kill air flow to the intercooler wouldnt it?

from my sig pic it looks so

yes it would.but most cops here are aswipes and dont give a shit about what will affect.they are always crying to the city that they cant read it.we cant even have a frame around the plate.not that i use one but that is just retarded

their only going to see the plate on my ass anyways i dont really care bout em radar has always been my best friend

no saying that i dont think i want red any more

^That's one of the best places for it.

that's the factory location :)

Woots! Is that confirmed for the US models?

EDIT: *Looks at steering wheel* So eh.. that IS a US one lol...

the 08 lancer comes with "perforated" holes on the front bumper for front license plate mounting (by perforated I mean easily punched through...they're still painted just small indentations so you know where to put the screw)...as do most cars nowadays...some come with a more complete front license plate bracket for installation when the cars come off the truck before going on the lot...I'm sure the evo will have the perforated holes...Luckily, I'm a registered PA driver, and mine will be registered in PA...so no front plate for me...

EDIT: see above posts :P

In Europe we have wide plates, so I'm guessing they wont fit on the side. They are also narrow enough (from top to bottom) not block airflow to the intercooler if mounted at the center (just don't tell me those holes in the front bumper are intake). And front plates are requred, so center would work best for me.

Nope, that's a Canadian one! Ontario plates, baby.

Bah! I guess I should have just said NA model :P

^^ not entirely true. I think bumpers are different on the Canadian model, not sure if it's front, rear, or both though. From the pic of the rear of that red one the rear bumper looks TINY (in terms of depth) so it's probably the front that is somehow changed.

Hmmm, okies. So we still aren't completely sure if that's where it will be on US spec? I really hope it is though...
