How many of you don't have a front license plate on your car and have you ever caught any beef from the police for it?

<-- No plate. be smart and carry it with you tho, like under the passenger seat, so if ya get pulled over you can toss it in the front window.

 

In most places having it in the front window isn't enough. I've never had problems with the cops for it. I did get two tickets from the meter maid because of it though.

 

No front plate.
No police stops.
No problem.

(Tennessee doesn't require a front plate.)

Passenger side of the dash. I think at least half (if not the majority) of all the board Z members have the front plate elsewhere besides where it belongs.

 

Where else might one put the front plate? I really don't like the look of having that thing cover my grill... but I don't want to be harassed by the cops... any ideas?

Audio Pat makes and sells a much nicer mounting bracket. It's still in the grill but looks much better than the buck tooth stock thing. I bought one of his but keep it and the plate in the glove box. Been a little over a year no problems, but Virgina is more surrounded by no front plate states than you are in Chi Town. Good luck... oh, just a thought, I noticed almost no Vettes around here had plates, so I talked to a few of them before making up my mind to go without... take a look around and see if you can spot others getting away with it.

 

How come I have 216 posts and am still a newbie and you have 151 posts and have Finally Got It?

Well, the mods got together and decided that you were not worthy of graduating newbie status.

no front plate here in ohio either. never had any problems from the five-oh. been pulled over twice and knock on wood they never even mentioned it. i do keep it in th ecar, at least that way i can spin a story about how i am waiting for the bracket to come from the dealer. i bought mine used from the dealer and it did not have the front bracket. i did have a friend who got yanked over with a grand prix no front plate. the cop gave him a 75 dollar ticket for some faulty vehicle code or something. thats on top of the speeding ticket. so i guess its always a roll of the dice.

 

No front plate in Maryland--- and it's easy cash for the cops!

 

I got mine tied to the passenger side sun visor so if theres any problems I can flip it forward, otherwise it stays up. Never had a problem in WA state (Alot of people are wise to it in this state, I see the crappiest of crap honda's on up with no front plates..which I dont understand why on a **** car you'd be so worried about looks but..apparently so)

 

people make fun of me because I have a front licence plate...

 

Is California one of those states that have strict laws on having a front plate? Everyone's saying this...I don't own a 350Z yet but I've been driving both my current cars around for 6+ years without front plates and I have NEVER been pulled over for that reason...and I live in So Cal too. Cops always look in my direction but they never notice my lack of front plate...maybe they do but just don't care. Anyway, I hate the front plate cuz it looks ugly and is not aerodynamically favorable...plus on some cars it blocks the radiator.

 

I never put a front plate on and never had any problems. It's one of those things that if you get pulled over for speeding, and the cop is trying to be a di*k he will walk around the car and pick out all the bs tickets he can give.

 

I could be wrong, but I think a missing front plate is a secondary offense for states that do require it, so you can't get pulled over for it, but you can get a ticket for it if you're otherwise pulled over. I'm not sure if all 50 require it now, but I know that some states used to have it optional.

 

i could be completely wrong but i dont think the liscense plate thing is a "pull-overable" offense in and of itself. You have to be caught for something else and then they can tack it on. Kind of like the seatbelt law was and still is in some states. here in ohio that has changed now and a cop can now pull you over for just not having your belt on. whether or not they do thats different, cause the more pull-overs/tickets, the more paperwork, and the less donuts. just a joke, if there are any police out there i did not mean to offend, i like donuts too.

 

i got pulled over for not having a front licence plate... but the ocifer thought i stole the car too...

 

Who coud make fun of that bad boy... have to admit it does look like it might be stolen though. Pat's plate bracket definately better than stock

 

i will be using my old plate and that is only for the rear so no front for me...YAY!
