Im getting sick of rolling with my front plate I think that it takes away from the look of the Z. How many of you in Austin have had any issues with getting pulled over for this? If there are any Austin cops in here, please chime in.

 

SA here, 2+ years no front plate, no problems.

 

I just got popped the other week for it. I did not have it on for over a year. I'm in S.A.. He even got me for a frame around my rear plate.

 

is the ticket just a fix it ticket or is there money involved?

 

they are fix-it tickets. I've gotten one in the 4 years I've had my car.

 

I have not had a front plate in about 8 1/2 years on all of my cars and not had any trouble.

The only time I ever got a warning was when got my first 944. It was shipped from Germany and I left the german front plate on. They just told me that I had to take it off.

 

Well, here in California.. I had to pay 15 dollars and fix it.

 

not one issue with front plates i have not had front plates on any of my cars so ill say 7 years not tickets for front plates.

 

I've gotten speeding tickets in Austin in all 3 of my cars with no front plate, and I've never gotten a ticket for no front license plate. I've also never been pulled over for not having a front license plate in austin.

In addition, the ticket doesn't count against your insurance, so if I did get a ticket, I'd just consider it a "tax" for the privilege of not running a front license plate, and I can live with that (even though the law is retarded).

 

I have no front plate on my bimmer or Z! Never been in any trouble...yet!

 

ive gotten a ticket for it, but my car was parked. the ticket was from parking enforcement. it didnt say i had to put it on.. so i just paid the fee and left it off.

 

I've never had a front plate and the only time I had an issue was parking at the airport, they gave me a 25 dollar ticket twice at LAX but other than that I've never even had an issue in Texas.

 

wtf? if a car is on private property, they have no right unless its in a contract (like a lease). Did you park in the street?

 

i had mine off for 4 months and i a warning because i told the cop it fell off :/

 

yea i was parked on the street.. and i was in the first available parking spot on that block, so i was the only car with my front bumper visible.. if only i had parked behind a car.. lol.

 

never got pulled over for no front plate anywhere in tx. lived in austin for 5 yrs.

 

I've had my front plates off now for about a year and haven't had any problems so far. I've been pulled over twice for speed issues, but nothing was ever said about my front plates missing.

 

Got a ticket for it a few weeks back, first one in about a year owning the Z with no front plate. Wasn't a fix-it though, $95 ticket. You believe that ish? Only reason he pulled me over was for the plate, I was going 27 in a 30, not accelerating.

 

Can anyone else from Austin chime in and verify if there is truly money involved or just a simple fix it ticket?

 

No problem so far. It's been off for about 2 years now. I just keep it in in my car and iff i get pulled over I will tell them my bracket broke and I'm ordering a new one.
