Front Plates on the 370z

steveg78 · 07-20-2010, 01:01 AM

4mo of flying below the radar with mine too. If I get pulled over I'm just gonna say "Hey I'm moving to a state that doesn't require a front plate in 2 months....Would you want to drill 2 holes in the bumper for that"? If they ticket me so be it...If they give me a fix-it ticket. I'll stall till I move and see what they say then :P

I have the stillen. I love it. No holes in the bumper. One less reason to be pulled over. No add on tickets.

I too have the stillen, but have never used it. I only have it in garage if the fateful day ever comes when I need to fix a ticket then take it off again.

Lol the law here says that we HAVE to have a front license plate thus every single car comes here with a fornt license plate holder.

So yeah

Same here must display plate to the front and rear. Mine came with a front plate holder...in the trunk!

Vegitto-kun · 07-20-2010, 01:34 PM

well mine was a demo car so it already had the front holder on.

dont worry about it, ive lived in MA for 11 years and have never had an issue with a front plate. Just keep the plate in your car, when you get pulled over tell them you were going to buy screws to put it on. I also think that putting on a front plate makes he car look terrible. The lower lip makes the car look bad A$$........dont ruin it.......no plate

Vegitto-kun · 07-20-2010, 02:05 PM

If I could I wouldn't have a front plate but we HAVE to >_>;

same thing with MA, the law says you have to have a front plate, but they also say you have to wear a seatbelt, but they rarely pull people over for not wearing one. un screw the plate holder and put the plate in your car.

Now, even though the police in Belgium really don't bother you unless you're doing something badly wrong, they would deffo stop you for not having your front number plate. In fact, we don't have countries in Europe where you can just take the front plate off. it's a major break of the law in Europe and you WILL get stopped for it (eventually).

I think that you'd get away with it in MA cause some states in America don't have plates at the front and therefore it wouldn't shock people so much if they didn't see the plate. Here, it would stick out like a sore thumb

when in Rome, or Belgium............do what ya want but the front plate on a Z ruins the car.....

The parking ticket in downtown San Francisco was notably higher than $35. I want to say something more like $95 just for not having a plate. Personally I'm less concerned about being pulled over for it and more concerned about the tickets I could get from meter maids versus police officers who can be reasoned with.

Never had mine put on either. been running under the radar so far so good.
