CA drivers-running front plate?

TexasChuck · 11-09-2015, 07:55 PM

You DO NOT have to drill the front bumper! Drill new mounting holes higher in the factory license bracket, there fore lowering the bracket, and use the same holes in the black grill. It AIN'T hard. Up with the holes, down with the bracket. Keeps it completely off the painted area.

I recieved the ticket for no front license plate, I spend the hundred buck, got the MowerAxle holder, didn't drill a single hole anywhere, went to the courthouse, had a cop sign off the ticket, paid the fine,

Who needs to borrow it?

Got tired of getting those tickets here in NYC so i went with the mower axle... Theres a cop every few blocks here..

That's actually pretty cool

I actually have a Stillen front plate bracket that I don't use, anyone needs to borrow it so you can get your ticket signed off let me know. I'm in south oc.

cops actually ticket for tint? i have limo tint all around, including front windshield. all my previous cars have had dark tint (i.e. below legal limits) and i have never had a cop giving me sh*t because of it. in fact, i've had cops have me roll down my window in traffic for them to tell me my car looks awesome. IMO, if cops have to cite you because of tint, then they really have nothing better to do.

regarding the front license plate, luckily, in florida, we don't have to have them. i've always wondered what the point is of having it in the front?

I think you are more likely to get one from parking enforcement than a patrol officer or chp. Classic case is Malibu along the beach on PCH or in Glendale or anywhere it is strictly enforced.

Yup those enforcement personnel are to strictly enforce the law for revenue generation. Nobody gets a break.

No front plate since ive owned it. Pulled over a handful of times no tickets yet. One Year I forgot to pay my tags(i hate that they send it like 3 months early lol) and he let me go an told me to pay my tags and said nothing about not having a front plate.

I think its more about how your drive, If your calm and drive like a normal safe driver should, I dont see why they would bother you. At least that's been my philosophy.

Breadz · 11-10-2015, 07:50 PM

My whole family runs plateless in the front and have never been pulled over for it. Im doing it aswell but im sure one day itll happen

Daishi9000 · 12-01-2015, 11:44 AM

Limo on the windshield? Must be fun driving at night

Zbrah · 12-01-2015, 12:04 PM

I think he meant front visor and not the entire windshield, at least that's what I'm hoping it is lol

Cops asked him to roll down his illegal tinted windows to praise him for having an "awesome" looking car
