Oooo me, pick me! Been pulled over and nailed for no front plate, tint, exhaust, etc.

Front plate ticket was...$70, I believe. Ghey.

when i had the FD i got 2 warnings, but never no tickit. There was no holes in the front bumer so i was deff not gonna put any in it.

Then my truck has a spot but was missing one of the screw holders so it wouldnt work with 1 screw, so i got pulled over and they didnt even give me a warming. $135!! for no front plate

i just got an exhaust tickit for the truck (its straight piped) cant wait to see how much this will be...

I think if you keep the plate in the front window, it is still ok.

Well after the tickit, i just zip tied the thing on lol

But then i bent the hell outta the V.... (forgot the name of it, below the bumper on truck, like another bumper) so i took that off but had to take the plate off because of that. sooo my plate sits on my passenger seat (was in the window but kept rattling)

law states it must be affixed to the front exterior bumper.

i used to run a custom stamped euro style plate on the front with my real NYS plate on the rear. euro plate blended in better with the bumper and didn't act like an air dam right in front of the intercooler. never got a ticket and actually had one cop say it was a sneaky way around it but still legal.

or if you have a bumper provision big enough for a plate. build a swinging front plate mount that moves up into your bumper via airflow when moving, but lower again once you stop...

Ah, I always thought you could just put it in your windshield. Thats what I've always done.

Was your euro plate actually stamped the same as the nys plate? If so, that's pretty smart hehe!
