Licence plate
Hey guys, where did you guys place your licence plates? I hate it when it is in the center of the bumper like a bucktooth also with the black licence plate holder. (kills the car's looks) I'm planning on repostioning my foglights to where the the stock one goes and putting mesh in front of it from all those rock flying into it and cracking my fogs. Pictures will help a lot. Also my sister has gotten tickets for not having a front licence plate on so I Have to have one on. Stupid Chicago Law.

Technically, you can be cited for having anything impeding your view, even in the lower corners of the windshield (even stickers for parking permits, etc are ilegal. Also anything hanging from your rear-view mirror). Only reason I know is because I had to go to traffic school...
Anyways, I just keep my dead center. Classic

No front plate here as well.
Ive had it like this for over 2yrs now, and have been pulled over twice for it. No ticket though. I told the officer that it had just came out of the bodyshop and they didnt put it back on.

put your front plate on a shelf in your garage....
seriously, i used to live in NY, i feel your pain... GA doesnt have a front plate thank god. i used to put it in my front window in NY. dont be a dooshbag to the cops when you get pulled over, maybe they wont ticket you.

Yeah IL has that stupid law or something that you have to have both front and back plates on. I know this because my sister has been pulled over and ticketed twice in the city. Maybe I should just paint the plate number and design onto my hood, which needs to be painted because of the rock chips and all.

after doing a little research, it appears that it will cost your 25-60 bucks for a no front plate ticket. if you can afford to CHANCE it, throw it in your windshield. you may get pulled over week 1, you may not get pulled over for 6 years... if you have to drill into your bumper, maybe its worth the chancing it.

someone got a ticket for that. my friend cut up everyone except the numbers. Got ticketed not sure why but yea. I now live in MI with my IL plate and MI doesn't have plate rules so i took mines off.

I don't know about other states but your not suppose to cover up anything from your license plate. I had a license plate frame that cover the wordings on the bottom of the plate that said "Garden State"... cop pulled me over and told me to remove my frame.

I like everyone's post in here, Thanks. Yeah for the bending part. Mine accidentily got bent after I hit the snow/ice mound at the end of my drive way at 3am coming home half sleeping. I noticed the next day that my plate was out of shape.

I've only gotten pulled over 2 times for no front plate and for having a darkened rear plate cover, cop said get better lights for the rear plate to avoid problems and for the front i keep telling them that i ordered a Bracket from Nissan and that its on Backorder. 2.5yrs and counting
