It's not easier to see in the front window, it lays at an angle and the glass gives a glare. It's also a hazard should you get into an accident or make an evasive maneuver.

I drove around without a front plate for nearly 2 years before a cop pulled me over, deciding it wasnt worth the hassle I ordered a front plate relocater from eight08customs.com

 

in nc you dont have to have one but in md where im from you did so i just keep nc plates

 

my thoughts exactly on the windshield thing and i did the same thing about the bracket...

 

too much trouble with CA cops, my plates are on the bumper and itll stay there...

 

i just got ticket for license plate
stupid... i thought cops here doesn't give shxt about it
i had no plate for like a year and a half and finally got it today
bad luck!

he pulled me over and said 'nice car!'
and he said i dont have to put front license plate, just pay $35 ticket and he won't bother me for a while even he sees me around

 

I just recently took my front plate off like about a week ago. Im hoping i at least last as long as you gomdangie. Being that im in Cali(the most strict state), im paranoid the luck of not getting pulled over won't last long, but if i get pulled over ill try and make up an excuse and hopefully the cop will be cool and let it slide. What's the best excuse u guys think will work on the cops about the missing front plate?

 

One cool thing to do is put them to the side of the car, not center, makes it look cooler

 

say someone stole it off... and IMo looks dumb on the side...

 

say u recently got a new bumper and it needs to get drilled?
i didn't know what to say.. because i didn't expect this to happen..

 

lol, when I took off my plate at first, i was going to put some bumper plugs in it, but I thought to myself... hmmm.... what if a cop pulls me over and i say something like, sombody thought it would be funny to take it off while my car was parked outside... but I would have to bumper plugs plugged in..... that would be kind of hard to believe...

so I left those bumper plugs out

 

o yea u cant do that if its got a hole lol

 

i got a bunch of extra receipts form my friends body shop that say repairs to the front bumper were done...they have the date blank, so one time i got pulled over in my vr6 and i scribbled the date in...he let me go....

 

i wish they would come up witha way so that you wouldnt have to drill into the bumper for the plate other than that motorized one that i found on jcwhitney's page that hides the plate for shows

 

CA police are very strict.
pretty much everyone I know that took off the front plate has gotten a ticket shortly aftwards.
In So Cal its gauranteed ticket. no plate plus tC is gonna get you pulled over the moment you take em off just as much as driving a civic si with no plates. their trained to look for potential rice rockets, I suppose since so many people in Cali think theyre fast n furious.

 

I see numerous mercedes and bmw's in SoCal without front plates. I dont think they get pulled over.

 

Yeah, as well as Honda's, Toyota's, Infinity's, Mazda's, Ford's, and many more....

You'll be fine, just drive like a grandma.... :D

 

I haven't punched the holes into my bumper yet, since I don't have to have a front plate in AZ. When I move back to NJ i'm going to have to do something tho, I think I might just put a plate on my dash instead of mounting it on the bumper.

 

it doesnt mean that you wont get pulled over... try driving in LAX... you'll be lucky to drive past a cop twice and not get pulled over.

 

Well, yeah.... LAX is a restricted area for my car.

 

luckily i'll be getting new plates and it takes forever to get them so i'll be riding around w/ back tempplate for a while so i wont have to deal with it for a while. but was just curious. because i know when you go to shows and you take em off it looks bad having the holes.
