Love the idea!!

But not a valid reason not to be able to use stickers. We'll just have to find a new way to measure speed. Like.....radar, timing, pacing, etc.

Oh, a couple things I forgot to mention about the RI inspections...
- Not required on brand new cars. I can't remember if you have to do it after one or after two years.
- Then it's every two years. It used to be yearly but when they added the emissions testing, the inspection became rather expensive -- $39 (and, as in Texas, is separate from registration fees and taxes and such).
- The tailpipe emissions test is done on a "rolling drums dyno type device" as in Texas.
- Yup, tinted windows and front plates are checked too
- Colored stickers, different color every year with a number for the month, are placed in the bottom passenger side of the windshield.

...or, how about, not at all? I'd prefer that.

Figured I would push this back to the front since it had the useful map.

I was surprised that no one mentioned the "Show and Go" front license plate bracket from Summit Racing on this thread. Has anyone installed this plate on a new Camaro? If so, how did it work? The holes are drilled under the front valence panel, but I am worried about road clearance.

I am from Maryland, which requires a front plate. The car currently has temporary PA tag, so I am OK for another 29 days. The Show and Go plate is motorized, so you can retract it with a wireless remote. Not sure I need a motorized bracket, but sure would like the option to retract it during car shows. Anyone know of alternative sources?

Does anyone need one of these?

^camarouser - that is pretty cool. Do you know if it damages the car at all? I like the fact that you don't have to have the bracket or drill any holes for it. I'm sure there are plenty of others that will have questions as well. Where did you get it? Or do you know where they got it for that car?
