Isn't it legal for california drivers not to have a front lisense plate?

I Selkiies 09-20-2009 01:34 PM

Yea I'm in NY and they need front license plates

ZumnRx8 09-20-2009 01:35 PM

^and your point is? Vettes never run front plates, neither do BMW's or MBZ, or AUDI or PORSCHE...It all depends on the cop. And personally I have never got popped for my front plate..

Well isn't it because you live in CA? lol I keep mine in the front dash facing out...makes the front of the car look 293874 times better

I live in Texas and its illegal if you dont have a front plate and i have ran all of my vehicles without a front plate and have never been pulled over for not having it. However i did get a speeding ticket once and the cop added the no front plate onto the ticket.... It was 10$ added on lol. So the way i see it... The look of not having a front plate is worth 10$.

Same here never pulled over because your "supposed" have it on the front bumper and not in my dash but he added it on when i failed to use my blinker (fuckin douchebag cop)

anyone have this experience in NY? Suffolk, LI to be more specific? Cuz i would love to take my plate off but these cops here suck. They are the most paid cops in the US and they are all shitheads.

Put it in your dash and see what happens, they'd be total dick cops if they pulled you over JUST for that

ZumnRx8 09-20-2009 02:51 PM

+1^ i would but i dont wanna scratch my dash.... I might put something on the back of the plate so it wont scractch it... Ill think about it..

SiLVeRE8 09-20-2009 03:49 PM

I actually made my own bracket out of aluminum and threw the bell bracket away. The reason was because the bell bracket was hanging too low and I was scraping my plate everywhere... Now my with the new bracket, my plate is even with my bumper and haven't scraped since. (BTW I am lowered with coilovers too)

dondo 09-20-2009 04:57 PM

no plate and no badge ftw

Krazed_Rx8 09-20-2009 05:48 PM

It doesn't scratch mine...it slips right in there...it gets loose every once in a while but just a quick push in and your good to go

Razz1 09-21-2009 12:08 AM

I wouldn't loose it, butt I would remove it from the bumper and patch the holes.

gh8st 09-21-2009 09:31 AM

you won't get pulled over for not having a front plate.. you'll get a ticket while you're parked. Just get the hideaway plate from swift motorsport. That's what i'm getting.

I never got a ticket for not having a front plate in long island.. but i got the ticket while i was parked in queens (during CHURCH.. fucking pigs haha)

gh8st 09-29-2009 12:43 PM

i just put on my front hideaway plate :)

Loose it & hang on your mirror like I did to mine... :)

So I've probably had the license plate off for about 2 weeks now and already got a ticket from some under cover cop LOL. Earlier in the day I drove directly behind a Suffolk County Cop and nothing happened. I told the cop that my front holder broke and I had one ordered from Mazda. So he walked to the front, looked at it, and said,"I don't see anything broken, or even where it goes." -_-

So by then I knew what kind of cop I was dealing with.
