Front plate states
 
I was curious how many states required front license. AZ does not. It kinda looks like a rabbit with the plate in the mouth.

MEGAREDS 07-08-2004 12:22 PM

Illinois - Yes.

Fanman 07-08-2004 12:23 PM

In Cali. you are required to have a front plate. I got warned/fix it ticket a few times for this.

mikeb 07-08-2004 12:26 PM

I am surprised I have had no ticket in one year in CA with no front plate

dirtylittlepaws 07-08-2004 01:03 PM

Texas - yes

I have mine off & have yet to get a warning yet . knock on wood.

Cam 07-08-2004 01:09 PM

Washington state = yes

Labop 07-08-2004 01:26 PM

Cam beat me to it, but I had a question that goes with it. Anyone know the if you are registered in Washington State (front plate required), but living in Florida (not required)?

I think you still have to have 'em, but I'm concerned about the heat down here, and blocking most of the grill.

marcj1 07-08-2004 01:28 PM

everybody gets to the see my new 8 grinnin' from ear to ear

The grill does little cooling as the radiator leans forward to catch the air coming in from the lower "rotary accent" area and beneath. If you look closely, the upper part of the grill is solid, only the lower 1/3 of the grill allows air and that is for the stock air intake which is located on the passenger side of this grill.

As Megareds said, required in IL and I have the warning ticket to prove it. Only got that because they are cracking down on no seat belts and I got pulled over for a check (I always wear my seat belt) and got a warning for 35% tint on the front side windows and no front license plate. The state police around here sometimes have nothing better to do.

RX-GR8 07-08-2004 01:37 PM

NJ- yes.

Elara 07-08-2004 02:33 PM

VA- yes. Don't have it on though- it's on the floor of my backseat.

JCaldwell 07-08-2004 02:35 PM

OK - no.

nosubstitutec4s 07-08-2004 03:16 PM

w2aew 07-08-2004 03:42 PM

NJ = yes. I ran 7 months without it, and didn't get stopped until this past weekend. Got off with a verbal "fix it". Alas, the plate is now installed...

Just don't go through the midtown tunnel- they look for the easy tickets and yell 9/11!! as a reason to nail you.

I think it's unlikely that the cops in FL will hassle you about not having a front plate.

In MO trucks over 18000 lbs require only a front plate. I know some guys that have been stopped in other states for not having a rear plate. They didn't get ticketed, but the cops gave them a warning, the "you're not in MO anymore" BS.

MO-yes :confused:

complex 07-08-2004 06:59 PM

NYC,,,,,,YEA..............
Ticket Amount=$$$$$90
Those with no front plate will be deemed "terrorist" under the new patriot act 2!!!!!!!!!!!!

grogiefrog 07-08-2004 08:16 PM

No bug collector in Indiana.

Johnnyma45 07-08-2004 08:32 PM

MI no. I hate front plates...I've seen Vipers with them and that's just wrong. You destroy the look of the car completely with that little rectangle.

2 Warnings for me, 1 from DPS and 1 from The Sheriff

TORacing 07-08-2004 10:41 PM

NC...no, thank god.

rx8cited 07-08-2004 10:44 PM

Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC - Yes - but mine is off with no trouble so far (knock on wood). I've been warned to stay out of DC without a front plate.

Josh662234 07-08-2004 10:49 PM

MA - Yes...no complaints yet....most people with modded cars around here put them on the top of their dashes against the window......not a bad idea....
