First ticket in the camaro

I got pulled over the 1st time In my camaro today. And surprisingly it wasn't for speeding (I have a led foot) or even for a seat belt. I got a 70$ ticket for no front tag. This did make me laugh though, the first thing the cop says is "who's car is this?!" (I'm 18 and look 16) Shaking my head..

Bound to happen at some point. IMO it's worth the gamble to keep the ugly plate off the front end. The good news for me is I live very near KS that has no front plate, so cops aren't on the look out as much as other places.

I wanted to take off but the risk of him chasing me didn't seem worth it. I found a remote controlled retractable front plate. What do you guys think?

I have the plate and bracket in the trunk. Still can't bring myself to put holes in the baby.
Utah is a front plate state, but easily 50% of all cars on the road don't have them.

Yeah, that would have been a very bad decision.

No front plate on ours either, and I know my luck will run out some day.

buy a custom bracket like mine, it bolts right up the factory bolts underneath, I would never drill holes in my SS.
