Do you have your front license plate on? (for those who live where it's required) - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

jmart53 · 11-30-2011, 02:06 PM

No I don't have mine on when I am supposed to... had it on originally because the delaer put that damn plate bracket on but I have since bought some retainers and color matched them and took the plate off and filled the holes with the retainers... looks good to me now

I am new to the camaro world. But so far I have my first mod done. I removed the front plate with a hide away version

No.

I get parking tickets for not running my front plate, never get pulled over tho.

Jeff_SS · 11-30-2011, 02:15 PM

That looks good jmart.
I would probably cry if someone drilled holes in my bumper..

73camarolt · 11-30-2011, 02:25 PM

Yes and no. We have the front bracket (It was installed when we bought the car) but we have a USA-1 plate on the front not a really plate.

heRS · 11-30-2011, 02:29 PM

My Camaro did not come from the factory with the holes drilled for a bracket and my dealer mentioned that in WA a front plate is required if the means are provided by the manufacturer to attach them. The means wasn't provided and so the plate is not on.

I had a state trooper pull me over for no front plate about a month after I got the car. I rigged it up based on one of the posts on the forums here using achors on the front grille...kind of a scarey way to do it but I was not going to put holes in the bumper.

The trooper was pretty new, dude was very nervous talking to me, it was kind of funny. I knew I would get pulled over for it as soon as I found a cop that cared...just surprised it was so soon.

Just got a warning...thank goodness.

I also have the Jacfab bracket, I love it. No holes and very easy to install and take off. Highly recommend this bracket.

Tstorm180 · 11-30-2011, 02:34 PM

Yes. Dealer installed the bracket without asking, so i just go with it. Personal plates are on order so i might as well show them both off.

NO FRONT PLATE HERE IN N.Y., ALTHOUGH IT IS REQUIRED BY LAW!

It's 25.00 to get it signed off if you correct the violation. If you don't want to get it signed off/correct the violation, you can expect to pay a much higher fine. Same with tint.

Yea, i paid around $40... im pretty sure. That was how much the check was that I sent in with the ticket at least.

I know that some stations will charge just to sign off. One of the stations around here says they will only sign for $20 cash.
