I dont have a front plate mounted on the danger stang now either and even after getting pulled over in it i still havent gotten busted for NFP.. But, if i do im just going to temp mount it with doublesided foam tape cause theres NO WAY in HAIL im gonna drill holes in that bumper.</end quote></div>



LOL! well then don't[IMG][/IMG] Have a Ford tech do it[IMG][/IMG]



I understand what your saying[IMG][/IMG] I think on smaller cars with fiberglass/plastic front ends its different. I also think the state should come down on the manufacturers[IMG][/IMG] for selling cars that do not meet the state requirements for vehicles being able to bolt on 2 license plates. Of course mine does, I just elect not to run a front plate[IMG][/IMG]</end quote></div>

lol The body shop that did the work on my car didnt even give me the bracket for the liscense plate. So im sure its not cheap. I think if i had to i could mount the plate behind the bumper in the lower opening. May or may not be legal there.

On one of the stang boards a guy used to sell a plate mount that went in the lower opening(i beelive) that was motorized and would retract for normal driving/shows and extend infront of the bumper if you got introuble. Cant find it anymore though. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I would think having a moving license plate would be illegal as well.

Here's the Section that covers front license platest;

5201. License plates shall at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates from swinging, shall be mounted in a position so as to be clearly visible, and shall be maintained in a condition so as to be clearly legible. The rear license plate shall be mounted not less than 12 inches nor more than 60 inches from the ground, and the front license plate shall be mounted not more than 60 inches from the ground, except as follows:

I'm going to pay the $51 and still keep it off the car. Just park with your front end close to a wall next time at this Hotel [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Sounds like a plan to me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Except I advertise "No front Plate[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]) I pull through the parking stalls[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] And it's hard to miss the front end of my PSD[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I even received a ticket while in court[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] on county property that is only parked in by the deputies! Argh!!!!!
