Front License Plates :-(
 

So I realized today that in my state, front license plates are REQUIRED :thumbdown: ... needless to say this is quite heartbreaking, as i do NOT want that crap on my Camaro. Anyone know of any loopholes or ways I can avoid marring my beautiful Camaro? :iono:

Same problem in Texas bro. I have a 02 Z-28 bought it new and they had to slap that crap onto my vehicle...man I was peed :mad0260: Anyway just this past year I decided it was time to get rid of the thing....so I checked around with several law enforcement friends and wanted there take....here in Texas the license plate has to at least be visible 30 feet away....I put a billett grille on with the license plate back behind it because I like the clean look....saw far so good...I have passed cops and no problems. Other people I kow just bend the license plate and stick it right under the lip of the car.....I would just check with the state laws to see what is acceptable and what isn't.It will save you from getting a ticket anyways.....:happyanim:

Not sure how these states will deal with it.

Mine is one of them...... :(

Here in Ct a front plate is required. The law was never enforced until recently. I think the state is just looking for money. I saw somewhere someone is making a front plate bracket for the Camaro that can be removed- (two piece slide gizmo) that bolts under the front cover. I think it is about $49.00. My dealer has been told no front plate or dealer name !.

Move to a different state :sm0:

Sounds like a good plan!!

Getting fed up with Maine Winters .... LOL

haha, yeah, i knew i was crazy for moving back to Iowa! Ah well, I'll have to see what the requirements are and find someway around it...

Haha, that is sweet! May have to get one, thanks for the info!

Depending upon your laws
 

In MO the front is required as well; however, my dealership is going to install one of those retractable (powered) license plate holders. This way you can have it up / viewable / legal when you are moving, and down when you want to look at your car / at a show / waxing etc.

Google U-tube for retractable license plate holders.

Slap it on your dash if you get pulled over... just needs to be displayed on the front... depending on wording doesn't say has to be drilled into the bumper.

Or just suck it up and take the ticket.

The thing with front plates not being inforced in the past and now are is that with the red light camera and photo radar. They lock in on the front plate. Toll boths also use the plate to catch the abusers. And last night a local police force was showing off the two new units that .... get ready

Scan your plate as it passes the cruiser. In 1/100 of a second it has already pulled the plate and checked to see if it is stolen, wrong plate, APB'd by any police force (including out of state). I am also suspect that it checks to see if the vehicle has insurance and if the owner has any unpaid tickets or warrants. In just 3 days they arrested 74 people.

Update:

Here is the local news story on It and yes according to the story warrants and insurance are checked also.

Good point... However I do know from personnal experience our toll system in Houston uses rear plate cameras.

Ya, our department has had a couple of those cars for a while now. It can scan cars going the opposite direction as well, It gets a full 360* around. Pretty cool technology. officers just have to worry about driving and the computer just pulls all the information.
