hello,
my names kevin. just wondering since i bought a new front bumper, is it legal to have the plate on the dash board? im not interested in busting a hole in the bumper, and a friend just got pulled over for not having one posted and cost him $75. if not what other alternatives do i have?

i just pick up a Z about 5 months ago, and love driving it. beginning to do some slight mods already. i understand and hear that the "Z" family is pretty friendly and active, and ive noticed it through all the threads. hope to meet some new people through this!

 

having it on the front dash isn't legal either. If you don't wanna drill your front bumper you've got a couple options. First if its a new stock bumper look into the Zee bracket. It clips in where the stock grill insert that covers up the Tow Hook hole is and mounts that way. The other option is to look into the Stillen Bracket, it screws into the actually Tow Hook hole.
On a side note I haven't had a front plate since November and I haven't gotten a ticket yet. Although I Only drive my car once a week at most almost never at night.

 

Welcome Kevin. Congrats on the purchase!

Like Jamie said, you don't have any options in regards to a front license plate.You can run it ....but at your own risk. Most of the boys with aftermarket bumpers don't have a front license plate and cops usually don't care too much....(depends if their just being a$$3$ or who you get) but if you're caught it will be a $75 fine. Carlos (Powerlab thread)....had an instance where the cop made him mount the license plate no questions asked.

Have fun out there bro, looking forward to meeting you.

 

welcome to the family!!!

like every1 is saying, u can leave the plate off, but i left mine on since i seem to attract hpd no matter what i do, i have a buddy who is running his on the dash and he's been fine now for about 3 or 4 months i believe, but then again, there'll be that one cop and thats about 3 tanks of gas right there for jus the ticket....

anyways looking forward to seein ya man!!!

btw, wat color?

 

hmmmm, i wonder WHO had the uprev osiris tune >.>....<.<.....<(' ' )>

 

First day I took mine off, I had cops stare at me driving by. Not a comfortable feeling.

I was unlucky and got pulled over numerous amount of times in my old car. I guess if you are lucky, you won't get pulled over... My friends have ran plate-less for years with no hassle though.

Up to you, but I opt not to risk it.

You can always run this and drill under your bumper:

i just picked up an origin front bumper and side skirts, and the Z is ppw. my friend actually got pulled over in chinatown going to take his parents to eat some pho, and i guess there was a guy just standing there stopping cars and writing citations. thanks for the advice and help guys!

 

are u the one on schofield with the huge wing and the blacked out rims that parks out by the MP station? if so i saw ur car in B quad today by burger king

 

no sorry that wasnt me, i live hawaii kai side, nothing on my car yet except for an exhaust. everything will be on my car hopefully before the end of the month. just picked up work vs-xx, and getting the sideskirts painted. spending so much $$$!

 

also, what paint shop do you folks recommend?

 

damn that was quick dude, which vs-xx did you end up picking up if you dont mind me asking

 

what up man! hows the car? the rims are silver with gold rivets, i think they were on forums, but they arent as agressive as yours. lol. i figure cant have everything i want esp. since im still in school, and times are tough so trying to save some money.

 

not worth the risk. you will get a ticket eventually. I went about a year w/o a plate then got a ticket. Got a new bumper and didn't put the plate on, then got another ticket. You gotta pay to play, so if you can't afford it just mount the plate.

For paint I'd recommend Gx. They cost $$, but imo you won't be satisfied any other way.

 

I just got ticketed April 22. I just ziptied the plate to the holes that are near the tow hook. It's kind of deep in there, but it's visible and in the front. Send the pictures into the judge with a statement. I'm leaving it on there, cuz I don't want the hassle. Hell if Im gonna drill holes, buy the gear or, worst, pay someone to do it.
