ikonxone and I have no front plates on our cars. It just looks cleaner that way. I know we are risking it. Both of us just put screws in the holes. haha that didnt sound right.

 

He may have connections to keep them off of him. That's asking for it , just by arrogance alone for at least 2 laws.

 

My boyfriend has gotten a ticket for no front plate when he bought a used car and they didn't supply him with the brackets/screws to mount the stupid thing

My car was drilled at the dealer, I use both my plates, non issue

 

I have no front plate, I say DOWN WITH THE MAN! Hell I barely put on my rear plate after 6 months, LOL. I never run red lights (duh), but I sure did make some yellow ones without fear of photo reinforcement! Usually I would put it on, but I have the Carbon Kit and I love the front with no plate. I have had several cars that didnt have a plate in the front, and of all the cars the only one I got pulled over in was a 93 Lexus ES300! not even wheels on the thing - totally stock! The cop did a U-Turn in traffic even just to get me! I guess I looked like a trouble maker, lol. Damn Racial Profiling! Anyway it ended well, I just got a warning. He probably thought I stole the car, bastard! But I came up clean and no ticket. I havent been as succesful with tinted windows or exhaust, but thats another story. There are just too many cops with nothing to do in my area. Within 5 miles I got Sherrif, CHP, and West Covina Police! And they got ghetto-birds too! So my plateless front is a middle finger to them all! (And now I will not be surprised if I get pulled over tonight on my way home!) On a serious note we support law enforcement, except for those two cops that harrassed me at the gas station, WHILE I WAS PUMPING GAS OF ALL THINGS! ok enough rambling. Save yourself the trouble and put on the plate for cryin out loud.

 

im rolling with a front plate. my friend got 2 fix-it tickets already and i dont think she still put the plate back on.

 

if ur worried about drilling holes, there is a plate kit on ebay that mounts to the bottom grille. it looks pretty kool too.

 

My wife works for the DMV section of a bank and they just got updated on some rules last week starting this comming year a no front plate ticket is not a fix it ticket anymore it will be considered a moving violation and its 1 point on your driving record just thought I would let you guys know I was shocked also but im shure it has to do with the traffic camera's

 

Dashboard plates are not a solution.

Plate under your seat only makes you look stupid.

I rode 2 years in My MINI... which was a cop catcher anyhow Skull and Crossbones on the Roof, Slammed, Illegal Tint.
Rolled 2 years then was nabbed.

Rolled the scion 25k miles... then was nabbed.
No excuse will work for the cop pulling you over... remember, to him/her it's just an excuse.

 

California law states you must have a front license plate. I sell cars for a living so I know this to be true. The regularity of enforcement of this law seems to vary depending on where you live. Did you know it's also illegal to have any kind of license plate frame on your car in California? Now that's a lame law that is almost never enforced. I say almost cuz the first time i don't I'll get a ticket for it.

 

I hope in TX they wont _____ too much about it. but then again, i mostly just keep the car parked in the parkin garage. The plates havent come in yet, so im still legitamately ok for bout a month. The car didnt have holes or a bracket in the front when i got it from the dealer, and im hoping to keep it that way. Anyone have any experience in tx, around houton area? or college station.

sheesh... when i had my 89 corolla i was living in LA bout two years ago... i didn't have any frames... but somebody keeps jackin my plates... front or back... if they're not gonna jack it they gonna tear it to get the freakin reg sticker... i would complain on that if they would ever ban frames...

 

but we get frames from dealers...

im not using them though.. just the plates. looks better imo.

but we really need to get rid of the front plate law in CA...

 

i know i posted a little further up, but since then i got some red bumper plugs and have been without that ugly front plate for a couple months. cops just dont care around me apparently. i dont even get looks when i drive past them (i drive past a police station and firestation on the way to class every other day.

 

i have to take back what i said about my friends car now. He got pulled over for having no plates on about a month ago... sucker

 

LOL. that sucks. until i know its safe to not have plates, ill keep em on.. theyre ugly..but itll save me some time and money.

 

I've never ran a front plate and I've never had problems with anything.

 

There was some other thread about a similar issue. Not sure if this was mentioned already, but here:

If your issue with the front plates are the holes you have to drill through your precious front bumper, you can buy brackets that attach to your lower grille and hold the plate. No holes, and no tickets. Just leave them off till you hit a state that requires them.

 

yeah, theyre on ebay. but i think what people are talking about here is the fact that its just UGLY.

 

Don't go to eBay for the brackets, get them from one of our family members:

I ran my Japanese plate for a long time and have been without one for easily a year or more. Been pulled over 4 times and they never cared about anything other than writing my a speeding ticket...

Don't expect them to do away with the front plate anytime soon if ever. Check out www.ticketassassin.com for a good explanation why - $$

 

oh..its not the same people? on ebay theyre from HI too?
