Finishline also has an offset bracket for the license plate. On top of the already stated solutions and others out there.

These cars are not production cars. They are largely hand built custom cars. To expect the BMW or any other mass production levels for the same price is nuts. If any one expects a Cobra replica to replicate a BMW warranty, fit and finish, dealer network, or for that matter any thing else... then buy a BMW

Best way to look at these cars is more a work of art. You can go down to the 'nothing over $79.99 sofa size' sale and get a large print or for the same amount of money, you can get a one off peice of art in the form of a 3x5 picture (at a fire sale and if you are really lucky!).

They are:
- dangerious
- require care
- require a large wallet if you don't know how to give them care
- can be expensive in many ways
- can be cheap in a very few ways
- easy to work on
- impossible to get parts
- easy to get a few parts
- can be tough to insure, get some on to work on and top dollar often when you do

Don't be fooled by some of the prices and say "Well heck! I can afford that!" There is so much more. $40K for a complete car is either a build it yourself model or a fixer-upper. Doesn't mean it can't be a good car (mine cost less), just means you have to accept things that you will change/fix/modify/repair.
