Tips for NOT having a front license plate???
I see soooo many front end pics on here of Z's WITHOUT front license plates. Am I one of the few people that lives somewhere where it's required by law to have a front license plate (BC, Canada)...or does someone have a secret for avoiding fines? I've had my '11 Nismo for half a year now and have only got warnings from the fuzz, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone makes me slap a stupid plate over that sleek front nose! Any tips?

Wear a short skirt, low cut top, and wink a lot, if/when you get pulled over again.
Can you put the plate in the front window?

Ha! Yeah, I'd be going straight to the slammer if "I" tried pulling that off. I COULD try putting the plate in the front window. Doesn't look TOO bad with a nice black plate cover and a couple suction hooks to hold it against the front window, but I can't tell which looks worse - mounting it in the front window or drilling holes in my fender

Seriously, I do not have a front plate on any of my Z's and never have. I have no strategy other than I will deal with it if I ever get nabbed by The Man, The Heat, The Coppers, etc. I know this probably does not help and I also know that by even writing this I am tempting fate.

if you get pulled over you can try saying, "yea, my car never came with one, but i ordered it from the dealership, should be here soon officer, i swear". and if you do get a ticket, buy the tow hook mount, get it written off and remove it again! |

It's nice just to know I'm not missing out on some secret way of avoiding fines. The last thing I want to do is drill holes in the front fender. I find road blocks are the only places where they razz me about it because they're looking for stuff...and because they see me coming from the front end. I've just been telling them I have an appointment to get it mounted etc, and I show them the plate/frame for getting it mounted, but that's only going to work for so long. I'll just keep BS'ing until I actually get a ticket. My last warning was for a ticket over $300.00 though... :P

I do not run one, but I agree that it is likely only a matter of time.
