    Mounting License plate on M35A3

    Can you guys post some photos or give me some ideas on how you mounted your license plate on your M35s? I want to mount it in a way that meets the legal requirements, but i dont want it to be so conspicuous that it looks stupid. Thanks in advance :?:

    My M35A3 Finally arrived yesterday!

    Got any contact info for him? I would like to give him a call and make an appointment at his shop? Camping sounds great if I am in town. Spend a lot of time in Asia these days.
