I just bought my car on saturday and have been enjoying driving it. The individual I bought the vehicle from didn't have a front license plate. And plus where the hell would you mount the license plate anyway? There is no way I am going to drill holes on the bumper in front of the grill. I guess my question I am getting at is have any of you been pulled over for it? Cuz I see most nice sports cars like Corvette owners do not have them either. Is it okay if I order a new plate and put it on the dash? Thanks

Np. I'd recommend saving that link or just buying one outright and hanging on to it until you get your fixit, then put it on ;p Might as well have your car the way you want it for as long as possible before catering to the man.

 

You will get the front liesence plate sooner or later.

I got 1 on my mustanga couple years ago. Brand new 07 Z just after I took off the dealer plates... I was going around a corner a motorcycle cop had somebody pulled over I slow down to about 10 and go around him, he hops on his bike pulls me over about 100ft down the road gives me a front plate ticket =)

 

Well I don't have dealer plates on it. The back one is a actual plate. The owner just didn't have a front plate. So should I go to the DMV and order one? The cop should've given you a warning. I just got my car Saturday, so if I do get pulled over, I'll just tell the officer that it hasn't come in yet

 

IMO, just put the front plate on there; getting pulled over and having to go to court is more hassle than what it's worth. Plus, some cities, like Gladstone for example, don't have "fix-it" tickets.

 

save yourself court time and just put the plate on. It is a fix-it ticket but you still have to go to court and bring in proof. your car is not going to look "cool" if you have it on..

 

Did you ask that motorcycle cop where the *** his front plate was???

I'm only kidding but I do make a good argument no?

That sucks though he went out of his way to do that

 

I just got two new plates today

 

I was driving towards my fathers company and a motorcycle cop was on the otherside of the road and he looked right at my car and I was like "oh shet he is going to pull me over for not having the front one on." But surprisingly, he kept riding away

 

you will get pulled over for it!! I just zip tied mine onto the front grill left side.

 

Nope, but when I go to court I think I may ask the judge this same question.

 

See thats the thing, I had put my real back liesence plate on... I had got my plates just didnt want to put on the front one.

He still pulled me over and gave me a front plate violation =) I informed him I was waiting for my Zbracket to come in (which came in the next day) and did not want to drill holes in my new car.

 

Don't put it on. It'll make the car look like crap. Take a look around when driving. There's a ton of cars with only one plate. Check out the vettes, Mercedes Slk's, etc. None of them have one. I have not had a problem so far.

 

I got nailed for it too, on my way up 99W. The thing is cops like to use that sorta thing as an additional "gotcha". I was drafting a Subaru who was going 20 over and the bike cop gunned him but not me. He pulled us both over but couldn't pin the ticket on me. Unfortunately for me I didn't have the front plate and he at least got some revenge there. The thing is it's a "fix it" ticket which means you can fix it and get out of paying for it... But then you still have to pay the $30 "administration" fee cause they're going to get money from you either way.

 

Mine was actually completely dropped w/ no administration fee. That is just polk county though. I know in different counties and what court you are going to play's a roll.
