Just got my plates today, and since the holes are not drilled, i dont want to

how many have gotten in trouble because of no front plates? It just looks so much cleaner.

Any thoughts on what to do?

 

Quite of few of the members have had tickets for this even parked at some of the meets...Santa Cruz anyone??...Go as long as u can until u get ur first fix it ticket and then decide on what u want to do...I wish my holes weren't drilled already but hey life goes on..

 

Get the Stillen Front License Plate Holder. It'll utilize your tow-hook adapter.

 

One victim right here. Although when I went in to have the ticket signed off, none of the cops on duty wanted to bother with getting up to actually see the car. Chances are even if you get one, you could just go in and have the ticket easily signed off with no work.

 

Got two no plate tickets in san francisco back-to-back in december or january - don't remember which month exactly so be careful.

 

its law in cali to have it..you become an easy target.

i agree, it looks way better with no plate...

i think ebay sells them for 20-25 bucks, stillen is like 50-75+
or theres a DIY on here..lol.

or 3m sticky tape it up...dont drill on ur bumper!!
u might get cracks in the paint around the hole...no bueno.

i think imma try the 3m method. if not, the DIY.

not worth being hassled. let alone get caugh for other stuff on top of that no front plate...

 

I say you leave it off. Put 5% tint all the way around, too.

 

As mentioned before, there is a DIY that shows ya how to convert your stock tow hook into a license plate holder. I tried it myself with tools I had laying around the garage. I thought it was pretty easy. Only advice would be to get a spare tow hook. I could try to hook you up with the steps if you want.

 

Hahaha, nice one Chippie

 

don't listen to him

 

Of course. more revenue right?

 

Not for CHP. CHP doesn't get a penny for any of the fines. The Department just wants compliance.

I wasn't speaking as cop on the previous post. Yes it's illegal, but I've never said what my personal preference is. And no one on this board has ever seen my car, if you smell what I'm steppin' in?

 

Hehe, I hear ya loud & clear. My post was in good fun Chippie

 

No personal grudge


I'll try to find the tow hook method, and may probably see what i can do till then. car is just a month old, dont want to go to the dealer to get it drilled till i get my first oil change anyways
