Got Inspection sticker today.

[Ristaze]

I bought my Camaro in PA and I live in NJ, so I need to go to the DMV and get the inspection sticker. My problem was and still is that FRIGGIN front plate. This was my temporary solution...it worked. Now waiting for a better way than drilling hole.

[WAY2FAST]

Nice solution. How is it staying on there? Any more pics?!

[PQ]

Do they really pull you guys over for not having it? I can't imagine.

[Vash]

Interesting. Front Angle pls.

That might not be legal in some states but the idea is not half bad.

[Ristaze]

Sorry, I forgot to say it in the post. Woke up at 6:30am went to Pathmark and bought a roll of double faced tape. At the inspection station at 7:15am, out by 7:45am.

Whatever works man, just don't drill into that bumper. It makes me cringe everytime I see a beautiful new Camaro with two ugly holes in the bumper.

also live in nj and bought in pa did you have to go through dmv line or do they give you the sticker.also was it a 2 year or 4 year sticker

[Ristaze]

I did wait in line. There was only a few cars in line but it turned out I didn't have to, just drive around to the side. it was a 4 year sticker.

[Vash]

I would be worried about damage to your paint. Probably not but I am paranoid by nature.

[presholt33]

thanks for the info. was it one of those new dealer sticker.

[CyberDude]

I'm glad that I live in PA! I hate those front plates...

[Ristaze]

Yes, New Dealer Sticker

[presholt33]

thank you very much

Wv doesn't require a front tag which is great but they have a annual inspection sticker that goes on the windshield, not cool. But I'll take the windshield sticker over a front tag any day.

Wow that's awesome! I'm going to get my registration and plates tomorrow and an inspection during my lunch break at some point this week.

[racert33]

what is the point of these inspection stickers? i've never heard of this before.

[Blownhotrodder]

Haha, nice solution. If the corvettes can have a nice solution for the front plate so can the camaro.

Once you get the sticker just take it off. Who cares if you get a ticket once every 5 years when some cop is bored.

These stickers are common back east and date back to the early 1900's when they wanted to make sure that all cars had lights and basic stuff like that. It is a very outdated practice. You don't see stickers required in any of the western states because during the 1900's we still had horses. Not sure why these states don't discontinue this outdated practice but my guess is that because it gives some folks jobs and revenue for the state it is likely to never go away.

I was curious "what" the solution was...
And to be honest.....I've grown accustomed to and love using industrial strength Velcro for more and more applications and this would also work in this situation!

i recently bought a new car in NY. I payed tax title etc at the DMV in NJ. They gave me a piece of paper which I had to show at the inspection station. I just parked outside, showed them that piece of paper and a minute later the guy came back with a "new car" inspection sticker, good for four years. No problem at all.

i think it's good. that way they can make sure that the car is secure enough to be on the road.

[BBfan24]

a lot of you guys are lucky. here in hawaii we are required to have the front plate and a new safety inspection every year. the safety inspection sticker is roughly 2"H x 4"L and must be visible from behind on the right side of the rear bumper

[SirBrad]

When you got your car in PA, what did you need to get registration in NJ? I am waiting for GM to send me the title so I can take it...did you need the title or did the PA dealership give you what you needed?

I had a temp license to drive, but it expires this weekend. I contacted my dealer who told me GM was processing the title and putting down my bank as the lien holder, and told him to check in with GM and see what's taking so long.

not 2, but 4 holes!!!...i live in NY, but took delivery in VA, and when i picked up the car, the "deed was already done"...:(

[Red Hot SS]

Umm...can someone tell me why no one wants to drill holes if theres gonna be a license plate there all the time??? I mean why dont you just keep the thing in the garage for forty years then sell it for tons of profit. Now what fun would that be?
