I'm confused. But I think I know what you mean. (my bumper is a stock 2gb, and I "think" so is his)

His bumper looks like a blitz bumper and do what Mike did above, just look at his SIG. He just moved it to the side of the bumper.

haha well mines a 96 with a 97-99 conversion. I would put it on the side but it would block one of my fog lights and if i put it in the middle like originally, it would kinda block my intercooler..

Any other ideas??

haah ok heres kinda a better picture

I knew you had a 2gb bumper! Well technically you only need the numbers so I guess you could cut it up so that only the numbers are left, and it wouldn't block as much of your foglight or intercooler :shrug

P.S. Dayum, I need me a secksy carbon fiber hood!

You're joking right?

You don't need foglights, just leave them off and mount the plate off to the side.

you could do what they do in the UK and Japan to avoid the highway cameras.
frontmount the plate but have it mounted on a swing assembly.
thet way when your slow, it is down and compliant, and when your going quick it folds up and alows full air to the intercooler

my buddy did this on his 240sx, works great. he gets all the airflow he needs but still has an externally mounted front plate

Hmm any other pictures or ideas??

You could mount it like cs just higher, it would be more out of the way of the intercooler

why don't you just use a stock license plate bracket? it will be out of the way and you won't have any ugly holes in the front of your bumper.

You can make one pretty easily if you want it's basically just a sheet of medal with a 90 degree bend in it.
