I really like that stripe treatment. And, personally, I like it with the plate area retaining the "background" body color like you show it. To me, it helps to prevent the eye from over-elongating the front of the car.

Man that looks awesome , great design i like the grey , however the metal brown gives a verry destinguished chique look .
Personaly I prefer the license plate open it gives an extra contrast and demension .

Just wondering why it would be harder to cover the plate then the top of that hood. I would think the venting on the hood would have been the nightmare. But its a pretty clean look...good job Mike
