i got pulled over about a month ago for no plate and asked about the dash and he said if i did that he would make damn sure he wroe me a ticket because some kid got his neck cut (not sure how bad) by the plate.(but this might just be washington)

Tell them that anyway... It's not their responsibility to put it on, it's yours if you choose not to... so be it. I wouldn't accept it if they do, tell them to reorder you one and put you at the front o the line!

Thanks.

I would try installing the plate off center to the left. That way when a cop is approaching you from the front he will see it better, and not pull you over.


p.s. A cop(CHP)was coming towards me on a 4-lane road. She immediately made a U-turn thru a big gravel medium kicking dirt and rocks all over the road just to pull me over for not having a front license plate. I told her that I bought the car without the plate and I would need to order new ones. So after eye balling my car for a few minutes she let me off with a verbal warning.

my dealer said that the front license plate won't require any drilling. it's going to be one that sticks to the front bumper like the corvette.

You could attach the plate to the sun visor (Use rubber band or something like that) and flip it down to be seen.

There is a FLP required in Missouri, but I have never had one. It has always gone in the front window, so my Buccaneers LP could stay on the front.

anyone know how hard it would be to install the hide away ones?
i dont want to put it on the veryyy bottom, because i dont want to loose anymore ground clearance.

how many verticle bars would i have to take out, so that i could mount it on the middle horizontal black bar?
and which place would be better? A or B? or between the two?
id prefer A, but with the point of the cars front, i dont know if that would work as good.




yes, i realize they talked about this like two things above,
but, i wanted to know how far off centered

You will not loose any clearance....... the lowest point is the spoiler and the plate will mount above that.

Hey levi1922, your picture got caught cut off, but I believe you should have it on the driver's side on the front.

Then as another car/police, passes, it will be easy for them to read and see.

yeah, i know the air dam is at 5" off the ground
and the bumper is higher than that, but i figure the plate will lower the bumper about 1-2" and that would be what i would most likely accidentally scrape on parking blocks.

okay thanks,
and all the way over to the left? or half way between mid point and all the way?

that motorized hideaway plate holder is cool but if u have it hidden and u get pulled over for it, what are you supposed to do? ... put it up while the cop is pulling u over and tell him it was always there, that u dont know wut he is takin about?

hahaha i have though of this, but, i dont think i would do it. the cop probably wouldnt respond well to it.
im going to get a manual one anyway, just because its 130 dollars cheaper than motorized. and if i forget to pull it out, i will tell him i forgot. and if he doesnt like this i suppose i will pay the 30 dollar ticket for forgetting
