i’ve been driving without a plate for a few years now…with two ridiculous loud shiney fart cans, and a red car with a big wing…you think i’d get pulled over first, but nope…never once…
and the only time my lack of front plate has even been mentioned to me was when i got pulled over for something else…
you’re asking advice here on the front bumper and what to do that would look better, i gave my honest opinion…i didnt say it was legal homes…pay to play
what’s ironic is I drove my car for something like 6 weeks with no bumper period… got pulled once for speeding, didn’t get the “easy out” - and the douche wrote it far higher than I was going at that (I was doing MAYBE 64 in a 55 he wrote 80!!!).
yet, in my quiet, slow, subtle, FUCKING BROWN BMW I got a no-front-plate (old german one, oops)
lol, it’s cool to see the completley opposite preferences from one site to another. Did you post on a 3rd forum Dave? lol I wanna know the results, see what the tiebreaker was
its silly to worry about the little cross piece when worrying about air flow to the IC…when you’re leaving a huge rectangle right in it’s way…no mesh, no cross piece, no plate…front plates are for dweebs. you drive a Z not a civic with a fart can…you’re aren’t going to get pulled over for a plate…and like mike said…when u get pulled over for something else, its a great backup plan to get a ticket for that instead.
plate and exhaust has saved me a few times from costly speeding tickets…but never pulled over primarily because of plate
