More People Should Sign This

i would sign it, but it doesn't matter to me if i have a front plate or not, because it's not that hard to take it off and put it in the windsheild!!!

aren't all cars either made for it or have a bracket available for it? I don't understand the difference. Especially since you pay for 2 of them. Now if there was a discount to buy one, I'd sign it. How about those of us with custom plates? I like having it on the front and the back.

Look at my front bumper. No brackets, and it isn't made for a front plate. The only way to get in on is to drill in the front bumper (fuck that) or to rig up some sort of device that attaches to the underside of the front bumper and sticks out towards the front (god awfull looking....most cars with these look like they have cactus busters on then).
I will never have a front plate, and I have never been harassed for not having one.

so are you saying that they don't have have bracket "available"? I swear I've seen one below the lip, between the foglights for placement. But I could be wrong.
P.S. I know that you don't WANT to drill holes. But that does not take away from the ability to do it.

I do not have the ability to drill holes.Would you want to devalue your car by drilling into the body work of the car?
And belwo the lip would scrape on the ground. The new LS1's have places for them.
I said I've seen brackets made for it before, but the look horrible.
There is nothing you can do to convince me to put a front plate on.
I don't even have one in the windsheild.

Eric under shane's account.It's better to at least have it in the windsheild then not have it on or in the car at all!
Thats not what my two tickets for this say

ive never been hassled(you know i will be now) and ive always had it on my dash in the front...my bumper has holes for it but there is nothin to mount it on...and im sure as hell not putting a front plate on my S15 bumper...if the car didnt come with one from the factory you should be cleared...like mitchell
-
i would never mess up a s15 front end with a plate, but if worse came to worce id just zip tie it to something and take it of for shows,
when you getting a s15 conversion? thats the plan for mine when i get to body work, probley start on some off it next fall/winter

I signed it! I am not drilling holes in the front to put my license plate on it! its not worth it.........at least put it in the window

i have been pulled over by highway patrol as well as my cousin with an 83(i think) iroc and they have asked where they were but never said it was illegal or gotten a ticket for it. He said they were grandfathered in just like model t's with seatbelts ect. If you want to get technical, anything other then factory equipment on a vehicle is ILLEGAL. If you were to add a bracket to the front bumper it would not be factory equipment and grounds for a fine as well...
-
I suppose if your car wasnt made from the manufacturer to have one then it could slide. All other cases, fuck off. Pussy up and put the damn thing on. You dont need to get a ticket just so you can "look cool" by not having a front plate. Stupid stuborn kids.
end of rant, sorry touchy subject

When I put on the brand new front bumper on my car, I went right ahead and took the drill to it, and drilled the holes and mounted my bracket and plate. Just what you have to do when you live in a state that requires a front license plate, just have to live with it. Sure, I would have preferred not to drill into the front clip that I had just spent a lot of money on, and time priming/painting it, but it's just what one has to do. I don't have to worry about violation tickets or anything either.
What I don't get is the people that have the front plate on the dash on the inside. It's not legal to have no front plate attached to the bumper, so why bother having it on the dash? Has ANYONE encountered a police officer that said "well, it's illegal to have no front plate, but since you have it inside the car, well, then that's okay...". Furthermore it looks even worse to have that thing on the dash IMO.
Some people I know use velcro and such. I still drive my car on the street enough to warrant the plate attached to the car at all times, though the track/street ratio has been getting closer and closer.

Furthermore it looks even worse to have that thing on the dash IMO.I'm very guilty of this. I just hate the way cars look with license plates mounted on the front bumper. So when I did my bumper swap I just stuck my plate in the passenger side front windshield. I kinda hoped that if I got stopped for it, the cop would just warn me about it and tell me to mount it back on the bumper.
I don't know, at least in the window, I'm making an effort to show my plate numbers...
Edit: Oh yeah, and those online petitions are worthless sadly
