theres a company that makes license plate holders where the tow hook is. use the search button and you should be able to find it. I personally dont like how it looks. I like mine centered on the bumper.

Evolution
So instead of making a new thread, I'm gonna just post my progression here! 
First thing I changed up was the front end of the car, started by changing the front grille from OEM to the CL style Grille. Also switched the OEM badge to a flat CF badge.
Before:
Middle:
After:
___
Next I hated the Foggy-ness in the headlights. So I tried white halogens. Which didn't help. So i spent the money and got Bi-Xenons 8000k. Also converted the fog lights to 8000k with a xentec kit. And Cleared the side markers and put LED's in them.
Before:
After:
___
This is when i fell off the grid for Med school. So when i had more time, I decided she needed some more loving so I went out and got new rims and tires!
Before:
While I was going through the rim change, i decided to do my calipers. Sorry i forgot to do a before and after. I did them silver but will probably go to the classic red:
After:
_____
Then I saw Peydidy with the roof wrap and it looks awesome. So now I decided to gloss black vinyl my roof for the glass look!
Before:
After:
QUESTION the guy at the vinyl place thinks it would look nice if I wrapped from the end of my front grille across the groves of my hood and the trunk also. Any thoughts?
NEXT to come, exhaust for sure. Hesitant on the drop because i live in NYC and long island where driving with all the potholes and below par roads would suck. Thoughts and concerns?
