Just thought of a JDM mod that ive never seen on a USDM

Alot of JDM cars we have here have two small hooks below the rear numberplate because the Japanese numberplate is bigger than the NZ one.

Its a completely pointless mod but I was just thinking ive never seen it on an American car. Some ppl seem to go hard out to make their car JDM, why has noone done this?

A had to modify my rear numberplate with a pair of tinsnips because the JDM number plate holder is narrower than the aussie plates - one of the few differences between the lower spec JDM civics and the aussie civics
