i dont run a front plate on the z, and my dad doesnt run 1 on his zo6 either, and we never hav a problem. i guess theres a code cops follow, it goes "nots for the hots" according to car and driver. but i heard that if they ask you to drill a hole in the front for the plates, thats illegal (if you dont hav mounting holes). this true?

 

A big difference is you live in Milwaukee. California has a Gestapo like police in regards to Cars. can you clarify the "nots for hots" comment I dont catch your drift?

I wish cops can just RELAX and try to fight real crimes.

 

The laws of the different states are different. I can't imagine that the exuse of not having holes in the bumper for a certain type of mount could be a valid one. There are many brackets that don't require holes to be drilled in the bumper.

 

no comment. that was the illegal part

 

hmm.. this is why I have to swap out my beautiful exhaust with something more quieter..

 

good thing u pulled it off

 

speaking of which. anyone still have a copy of the hks paperwork saying it meets the noise decibel level with them wanna fax it to me =D

 

Seeing threads like this makes me nervous. ~10 years driving in LA and never been pulled over. My car isn't quiet at WOT either... which I tend to do a lot...

 

glendale, burbank and pasadena

 

and city of walnut too, i got pulled over twice for not having front plates but no ticket yet.

 

...then again, I always have front plates :P

 

yeah man, glendale is getting bad, my girl lives in Silvelake, and drives through Glendale all the time, and she's got 2 tickets in 2 weeks for no front plate and tint on her IS250, and she drives normal all the time.
