Front license plate blocking PS cooler?

I’ve got one of the front tow hook license plate brackets and noticed that it pretty much covers the power steering cooler being the bottom grill. Is this a concern?

Either take off the plate or center it somehow. It looks so wack off to the side like that.

That's where the tow hook is. You can't change it, and I think it looks fine. There's worse out there and I'm not drilling into my bumper.

I've had mine there for several years and haven't had any issue. It seems far enough out that air can still flow freely around it.

Drill speed holes into the plate.

Or run it without the license plate and if you do get pulled over for it, then it’s a fixed it ticket and put back the tow hook license plate holder and show it get the ticket dismissed, then take it off again

Check your state in tx they dont require if manufacturer doesnt put a license bracket onto the car and drilling into bumper doesnt count

I got pulled over twice when I first bought the car (original owner in CA), and it was a pain so I decided not to do that anymore.
