Front Plate?

Boost_lee · 05-03-2013, 02:30 AM

Required in TX, so I have the show-n-go plate just in case

axmea? · 05-03-2013, 02:36 AM

Boost. are the motors water proof and have decent power rating? Contemplated on that thing but not totally convinced. Could use some credible recommendations.

Excuse me for my ignorance but what is the show-n-go plate? is it just like what axmea mentioned?

Don't need front plates in Florida.

As mentioned, it is required in Texas. I don't like giving cops any reason to pull me over, so I installed it without the bracket. I just screwed the frame and plate directly into the black plastic piece, and I love that it doesn't project out in front of the car from the side view

I can't seem to find a side view photo, but here's a close up from the front of what I did.

You get manual ones or electric/remote ones

Amazon.com: show and go license plate

you can still see something hanging under the car when you take a pict with that show-n-go, no?

i just use the factory plate bracket. i cover the plate black when i take picts as the plate is not very pretty with its ugly colors.

Another reason not to use the factory bracket

kenchan · 05-03-2013, 10:23 AM

but the factory bracket is nice. it's real abs plastic, not some faux abs.

Living all my life in two plate NY my eye is used to seeing a front plate. I would go for a more discrete braket and use a plate cover but I would not want to deal with the time, worry or pay and get the plate. I guess my plate does make the car look like the tongue is sticking out.

SmokeEater27 · 05-03-2013, 10:59 AM

just like Nailzs I only have to show my rear plate on the car, one of the few perks of living in florida

now on the other hand I have had the sheriffs pull me over for a tinted plate cover

..Give and take i guess

kenchan · 05-03-2013, 11:11 AM

they should just make the damn plates a barcode. people take picts and the barcode app shows 'F-U' or something.

jokes aside, they should designate a gps tracking via toll transponder. this way no more need for stupid plates.

kielbasa16 · 05-03-2013, 12:51 PM

I havent had a plate on my car since I got it, and have never been pulled over for it (in NY). Though one of the handful of times my mom took my car to work she got pulled over for no plate (just a warning), and mind you she drives like a grandma. At least thats what she tells me...

kenchan · 05-03-2013, 12:51 PM

why are you living with your mom...

( Click to show/hide ) I sure find it humorous when people black out their license plates in photos. I just don't see the point when tons of people see my license plate on a daily basis. I always wonder if those people cover up their plates whenever they park their cars m4a1mustang likes this. __________________ 2011 370Z 6MT Sport Gun Metallic \| ARC \| CJM \| Ecutek \| FI \| Fujimura \| R2C \| SPL \| Stillen \| TWM \| Z1 \| ZSpeed \| Last edited by JARblue; 05-03-2013 at 03:42 PM.
