Finally got my Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

jrkilburn · 03-20-2010, 07:58 PM

After 36 years on this planet I finally bought my first Camaro. My wife was totally on board with the idea and I feel very lucky to have that kind of support at home.

I purchased today a 2LT V6 RS in silver. Wonderful car and stacked with extra's that I would have never thought of had I ordered one. The price and the fuel mileage make it all add up as a great car that will last me until my midlife crisis (that is when it will be traded for a ZR1 vette).

My question to all of you is...
Is anyone making a hideaway front licence plate holder so I don't destroy the look when my tags come in and have to mount the front tag?

Nice. How strict are the cops in your state about front plates? You just wont see a front plate on my car. My Z never had one either. Cannot STAND the way it looks, knock on wood no problems yet.

Worst case it's only an $86 ticket here. No points obviously.

I will get a picture up today since it was dark by the time I got home from the dealer.

I think I will test the "no front tag" and see how the po po's react to it. otherwise since I am active duty army I will get PA plates again so I only have rear.

My dealer tells me that they got the front plate bracket from:

BD Speed & Hobby Shop

www.neweramodels.com

6 Progress Avenue
Nashua, NH 03062
(603) 889-3576

It bolts on from underneath and the plate is removable.
