We were stopped on Bitters in SA for no front plate. The cop was explaining that we should have had the dealership put it on, but when we told him that they wouldn't do it on after market GFX, he gave us a warning. He told us the ticket for a missing plate on the front in TX is $200.
Here's a link to sign a petition to remove the requirement for a front plate: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_pe...gn.cgi?txplate.

>>>Mine already had the bracket installed when I got it. I was going to have the holes filled but I don't mind it much now with my black plates.
Yeah, the black on black doesn't look bad at all. |

Posted on this a few days ago about not getting a ticket and sure enough, on the fourth, we were driving through Martindale and DPS pulled us over. I explained that the car did not come with one so he let me off with a warning. This makes 5 or 6 times I've been pulled over for no front plate and still no tickets. I'm crossing my fingers that the streak continues because I just can't stand a front plate; and I have a black car.

I ended up going to Home Depot and getting the following:
2 x 3/8 x 4 toggle bolts 1 pack of 3/4 heat shrink 2 x 5/8 cut washers I put the heat shrink on the wings of the toggle bolts to protect the back of the grill. I then flipped the front license mount over and mounted it to the lower grill with the toggle bolts like mentioned elsewhere. It looks good, costed about $13, and I didnt have to drill the bumper.

I saw another post on front plates awhile back and their was someone who posted a pic of a Camaro with a front plate that looked like a sticker it was from TX. I saw it here on the forum and did a search and can't find it now. Just wondering if thier is anything like this, if their is I think it would solve alot of our problems.

I told the sales guy when I bought the car do not install the front license plate mount. I will be responsible for any tickets.
The wife drops off the car for its PDI and repeats my instructions to the service advisor and when she gets home the front bracket is installed. The dealership bought me a new bumper. I have not had any problems with no front tag and I've had the car almost a year now. |

All that does is give the next owner a hole free bumper, but does nothing for the current owner he still has that front plate look........
