Well, considering that you are in Montreal Canada, a Japanese plate is kind of pointless...

I know it's pointless, but I like the wannabe Japan style . What is more apeiling (sp?) to the eyes?

I say without. Clean is better.

A Euro plate, I think, is sleek enough to look cool on a Euro car, like a BMW.

Affirmative, it's a 240sx front lip. In fact, it's my old lip I had on my old 240sx. I didn't want to swap the bumper for a S5 one like everyone else do, I wanted to be more unique.

So from what I see, the majority says take it off. Hard choice to do!

I hate front license plates.

So, without.

Plus, it's technically hurting your coefficient of drag anyway.

I say without also. What you could do so it looks clean and still have the jdm plate look; tuck the plate in the bottom passenger side of the widshield. I have my CA plate there, it's kinda nice. Try see if you like it.
BTW where did you get your clear turn signals from? -Jeromy

You mean the flourescent lights? Like in office buildings and schools? If it's those lights I was going to use those and now I will because I like that look. -Jeromy

I still don't get why you would put an invalid Japanese plate on a car that will never be driven in Japan? Might as well put a big "Powered By Honda!" banner on the windshield.

Bingo

I like the "Powered by Honda" idea, I might exploit it! (sarcasm :p)

It looks cool with tha JP plate but it's kinda weird when you're not in JP.
So, it's up to you.

Hey, that's a very nice camera. What kind?
Very nice color of the car, it's so clean.
