Relocating front license plate.. suggestions?

I'm planning on relocating my front license plate and I think I want to put it off to one side

But I've heard some people say theres a "right" side to put it - kind of like a dude with one earring with the left side being the "right" side. - so do you put it on the drivers side of the bumper or the passengers?

or is it just personal preference..

pictures would be great if you have 'em.

not sure if there is a preferable side or not, but I know EVOs have always had it on the driver side and thats from the OEM. I would start there. You have the stock bumper? If so why the move?

If you don't have the issue of an aftermarket bumper why move it and create more hooos, leave it in the center or remove it completly....

off or on, any other place for the license plate is in bad taste, just keep it clean

i'd say leave it too... if you put if off to the side you can block some of the air ducts that help direct air to the radiator/ac condenser... the middle is the best spot for it...

I'd really like to just take it off for good but the 5-0 around here loves harassing people about not having a front plate
get the stillen plate-toe hook mount setup and remove it for events and such...thats what I do because I drive on an army base everyday so they hassel us about front plates.

The only reason why people "relocate" the plate is when the have an intercooler in the center and the plate would restrict air flow.
