Default front plate part 2

can the front plate be placed on either side of the bumper (left or right) ,or does it have to be dead smack in the middle (law wise) ? ? im going to be putting my front plate on ...... i think it would look better on either side than in middle

actually it is worded...lawfully, has to be specific.

last i recall it says "plate must be on the most forward part of the vehicle"

which is why most cars have it in the middle
