Front License Plate :(
I cringe at the thought of puting a front license plate on my car when my plates come in. I think it ruins the look at the front cause it goes RIGHT at the knose of the car. Does anyone know where i can find out if it is required to have one??. I dont want to drill holes into my car
anyone have any ideas or anything to get around this. one of my friends suggested that i keep the dealer sticker in the front and put the license in the back so that if a cop sees me from the front he will think it is new, but from behind there are the plates. The only problem with this is if i get pulled over i am screwed.

I have 4 citations for no front plate on my record....you still wont find a front plate on my car =). ask yourself, how much $$ are you willing to Potentially Sacrifice for looks?
(less of an issue these days though, more and more cops dont seem to care about little $hit like that unless youre givin them attitude or something.
I was about to flame the HELL out of you for your name, but then I noticed your sig.

Front Plates
If it is mandatory that you have to sport a front license plate on your Z - then avoid the dealer drilling nightmare by clicking below:

hmm yea i dont think i could afford repeated citations considering LA and my area is crawling with cops that just LOVE giving bs tickets. The Z bracket is an interesting idea never noticed it. just wondering but wouldnt it obstruct airflow a bit (prolly a stupid question). Also where exactly does it atatch onto, the grill? Is it a clip or do u glue or drill something.
thx for the help guys.

there arent any airflow problems with that is there... cause it looks like it causes a great deal of wind resistance and blocks a lot of air...
could be stupid question but still curious
