What does the bracket look like? and how can i make one? Please let me know. thanks

 

PM me your e-mail address. I will send you the drawing.

Basically its a bolt with two nuts and a piece of metal strip to attach the plate to

 

I'm a cop in Texas and we call that kind of ticket a chicken***t ticket. It does give me probable cause to stop a car but I only do that if I'm really bored (3AM kind of thing) or it looks like they've been drinking. But never a ticket just for the front tag.

 

Well I think we can expect more aggressive chickenshiat ticketing as it seems to be increasingly prevalent. I think they do this in support of traffic light cameras; they prefer pictures of the driver's face and the license plate in the same photograph.

 

i only got 1 licence plate also on the back

i simply made a super high quality photo copy of my plate in actual size.

had it heavy laminated, and put it behind a licence plate protetor,
yet theres no reflective material for photo equipment hehe
so far so good!!

cannot tell the difference unless you are about 1' away, even put the expiration sticker on it!! work well on the dash too (flexes a little) to fit

many cops have been behind me, pulled over not even questioned.

 

I painted the front plate support and my NISMO plate frame to color match my car in Daytona Blue. If you must have a front plate, this a a nice way to go. I also have a rear NISMO plate frame in Daytona Blue. Little details can make a big difference

 

Ok,
Here is the info I promised.

Go to the home depot and get the following:

1) Buy 1 M16 Bolt, length 1.5 inches
2) Buy 2 M16 Nut, this will tighten the bolt to the boss and the strap to the head of the bolt.
3) Need a piece of aluminum, I got a piece from work and bend it in a U shape so that you can clear the head of the bolt, while giving you a lip to fasten the licence plate to.
4) It take a little time, but you can make it work.


I personally didn't like the look of it in that location, so I am driving with front plates again. I found that it takes away from the look of the car.


Sorry for the wait, I was trying a new design, but that didn't work as well.

 

Its actually up to the officer. Some say that suction cups attachhed to the inner windshield with the plate is enough to suffice "affixed" to the front of the vehicle. Others wont let it slide.

 

Another thread pulled from its hybernative slumber.

 

i use a z-bracket but i dont mount it the "bucktooth" way. i put the plate up so that it's halfway on the grill and halfway on the bumper. of course, it looks kinda ghey from the side but i can live with it.

 

told the judge someone backed up into my car and thats why the liscense plate wasnt hanging on it and they threw the ticket out

 

2 zip ties + grill = done and done. i have mine mounted to the OEM bracket that i hacksawed in half and mount the plate with 2 screws. on the driver's side of the grill to keep the grill open. looks decent.

 

If you got the ticket in L.A., you can actually send in a photo of your car with the front license plate mounted and a check for the ticket. My friend used double sided tape, and he has done a couple times already. This will at least save you the trouble of taking the car for inspection and really mounting the plate.

 

seriously, back from the dead... but to update you guys, my front plates are still off and i havent received anymore tickets since. I pretty much just stay away from street parking and things have been fine...

 

Did the same thing in my 3-series. Cop gave me the "fix it" ticket but it was only 10 bucks and gave me 2 full months to get it signed off.
