for fun, kinda... the plate is normally flat against the bumper and would partly stonewall airflow, and the bottom no longer blocks the grille. to take a page from Front & Rear License Plate Accessories :: Sigma Automotive

Enhance Aerodynamics - Instead of hitting oncoming winds head-on, front license plate tilts forward and diverts wind at a downward angulation. This reduces drag coefficient & improves mileage. Did you know that at highway speeds, 60% of the energy goes to push air out of the way? Toyota designed their Prius into a bullet-shape to offset the extra-heavy batteries so that it still shines in the fuel economy department. So putting an upright front license plate really throws all their aerodynamic research & design off the window. Our license plate bracket is a good first step to minimize this problem.
Enhance Performance - Depending on your front grille location, they may facilitate radiator cooling and enhance vehicle performance.
