Front plate or no front plate

SollyD · 05-13-2008, 04:58 PM

I'm torn on what to do. My car is being built and my dealer asked me if I wanted it and I said yes to avoid tickets and the hassle that comes with being pulled over. I'm starting to have second thoughts now. I know it would look better without it but do you guys think it's worth it?

If its a daily driver leave the plates on the front....it's not worth it to be worried about tickets, esp. in NY.

No front plate! Haven't had one on my last 4 cars, been stopped only twice, only one ticket. Worth it to have a clean front end!

No front plate. If you MUST, put it inbetween your dash and windshield.

lol...that won't prevent a ticket and looks even uglier than mounting it in the front.

Again, put the front plate on so you don't get harassed by the law, but don't have dealer put it on for you. Put it on yourself using the method I posted above so that you can remove it in the future without blemish.

They tried to make me have front plates. I said no, no, no.
