    Default Help! Need expert opinions on Install!

    OK... so Vito from AntiLaser told me I definitely want to move the head, as many of you have. Vito suggested in the grill right under the H logo. I checked today, the curvature of grill/bumber will not allow that, and there isn't enough space (looks are deceiving in the photo). He said either there or under the plate. So, judging the photo- what would you recommend:


    1. Next to the H logo, barely off center (though the layout of the grill would make this difficult, I'd have to have part of it cut and even then there would be an even surface to set it on)

    2. Attached to the bottom of the license plate

    3. Attached to the center bottom of the bumper

    or

    4. Please suggest another place!

    Unfortunately, the Civic doesn't have the most jammer friendly front end... at least not in TX where front plates are required!

    Help!!!

    LEAVE THE H...its the heart and soul of the car, and shows that you have a HONDA.................I had thought about it for my "A" but I left it totally alone..........besides that wiring and mounting would be a pain because the grill goes up with the bonnet on mine

    If anything id say #3 offers good protection for the plate, and sufficient protection for the lights, but usually the LEOs aim for the plate first anyways.......that and a Civic is pretty small up front, not too much area to defend

    I say put it in #2 as long as it can be secured there.

    would you recommend any addt'l "securing" measures besides double sided adhesive tape (which AL provides)?
