Feel bad for all you Front Plate People...
 
Front license plates have always bugged the crap out of me. I see so many sh*t-hot looking cars on the forums, with this ugly-a$$ front plate...

My car was a CA car, but we only need one plate here in AZ. So when I got hit a few weeks ago, I made sure they filled the holes from the front plate, the front of the car looks so much cleaner/better.

Yea Missouri has too have two plates.But if you own a truck with a trailer hitch you don't need one for the rear.I used to go without one but that's a big reason to be pulled over for here.

Plates are overrated anyways.. :rolleyes:

We have a front plate law but screw em, it looks ugly with it! I keep it in the seat pocket just in case though.

its a new thing that we in CT are supposed to have plates... bullocks to them, no plates for me or my bro's mustangs! most of the cars around have them. Funniest thing ever is when you see a ricer with holes drilled and a space for the plat to go, yet have the front plate in the windshiled passenger side :D :rolleyes: My other plate stays at home in a manilla envelope... somewhere

I wish i could get away without a front plate.....

i mean come on..... how often to cops pull you over and stop in FRONT of yer car. <laugh> all that should be required is the rear.

We have a front plate rule, but i dont! I took it off, it had special brackets for it anyways since I have the Saleen Kit. Looks so much smoother without it

I would leave mine off but have already been stopped twice for it.

Here's one with and one without. I've gotten pretty used to it. I got cited a couple years ago for no front plate. It was a fixit ticket, but the officer said if I got stopped again there would be a hefty fine for FTC (failure to comply). My old plate was ADRENAL from my '94 GT but I changed to GTYUP V8 for the '05.

The other car is a friend I found in my hometown through another forum. His car is identical down to the last option.

I hate front plates. I'm glad I have Michigan tags as we only need one. They got rid of ours years ago.

MattJ 11-29-2005 08:40 PM

lol

No front plate here. Never realized they are required in some states besides CA. I thought you guys did that on purpose LOL. :rolleyes:

Wouldn't mind a black plate with red numbers though. :D

Grimmz 11-30-2005 12:14 AM

Nope not in MD we still gotz the front plates...dunno why honestly, not like i'ma get chased while in reverse the entire time...

Ghostalker 11-30-2005 04:09 AM

i always thought it was so your ar can be identified, just in general. if your car was seen at a parking lot at a particular time, and you were facing out, it would help someone to have seen the license plate.(you hit and run devils)

Slither 11-30-2005 10:04 AM

So do you have to pay for 2 tag renewals or what?

No just one price...lol and the stickers only have to go on the rear plate...like I said...if someone saw you in a parking lot though, you think they'd be able to see your plates from the rear...most people park front in...i'm one of the few that parks back in as much as possible.

if i lived in a state where you had to have both plates i wouldnt put the front one on either. they look horrible on the front. i couldnt imagine putting a plate on the front of my car.

Shambles 11-30-2005 10:41 AM

Most people just put the front plate in the front window.

floppy 11-30-2005 10:49 AM

i saw a box somewhere that the license plate sit inside and when you push a button it fills with a smokelike substance so that you cant see the plate anymore, it all goes black. it's illegal to sell or use one in the states, i think i saw it in europe somewhere. but if i had to have a plate on the front of my car i might try and find one of these and fiberglass it into the bumper. as long as the car was painted black, you wouldnt see the license plate until you pushed the button again.

has anyone else seen these license plate things im talking about?
