_shrugs_ My view is this, everyone has to have one on the front of their car in Ontario. Yes they look stupid, but we all have to have the stupid thing on the front, so just ignore it and accept that all the cars have the same ugly blemish on the front end and avoid the hassle. ---

Here’s the pic I’m talking about. I’m sure some of the Zenki S13 haters might change their mind after they see the nice clean line from this pic: ![http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb177/REDisFASTER/DSC00558.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/d/e/de0a47cdf1d8a6c168e35f0bbd8488200186ab60.jpeg) ---

Yes they look stupid, but we all have to have the stupid thing on the front, so just ignore it and accept that all the cars have the same ugly blemish on the front end and avoid the hassle. While I agree with you, and believe this is true for “us mortals”, I doubt that any conscientous exotic owner would allow their front bumper to be drilled for a licence plate. If I drove a Ferrari, I’d just pay the $110 ticket everytime they give me it. ---

See, now that I’ll agree with, but a Ferrari or _insert exotic here_ is a rolling piece of art, whereas a 240 is a rolling piece of crap… And if you can afford a Ferrari, the ticket costs less than your socks, so it doesn’t much matter. ---

if you drive an exotic or baller as car you will not get the ticket. i promise been pulled over in my b uddies viper and never has the cop brought it up. its not even in the windshield. but yea it is needed to be out side on the front because its where they aim the laser for their radar guns. most reflective part of your car. ---

i know many people that have ticketed in ferrari’s, lamborghini’s, and porsches for not having front plates. It doesn’t matter what kind of car it is when it comes to an office who doesn’t give a shit. one guy with a GT3 RS made a laminate sticker platefor the front… looks sorta real until you get real close… either way, even he has been ticketed. ---

I don’t believe they have front plates there, since the previous owner before me got it before she came to Ontario. When she got here, she had to drill holes in the front bumper and bolt the plate directly on it. The car never even had the black plate mounting thing… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/front-plate-location-legalities/115869.md?page=1)
