Default WHAT DO YOU THINK?

i have an idea of moving my rear license plate onto the actual rear bumper and covering up where it is currently placed. has anyone done that before? i have a combat rear bumper and it has a place for the plate. i think that would look extremely clean. lend me you thoughts on it. ihave a pic of the back of my car on the photo album, i'm at work and can't save pix to repost them. kinda sucks but oh well.

its not going to be crooked. the original spot where the plate is right now will be covered and the plate will be bolted on the bumper in the middle. here is a pic of what the back looks like now. just imagine the plate being between the black open spots on the bumper and the spot where the plate was covered and of course painted black.

lookin to get it sprayed soon here, got the money just gotta talk to some people. as for a fender bender or bent plates, i can just drill 2 holes in the metal frame part right behind the bumper. as for the lights, there is a part over the top of where the plate would go( kinda like a lip) that i can install a light to show the plate at night.
