Supra doesn’t have one, and theres no holes, and i dont plan on drilling. I’ll just have to pay the ticket. Problem is, you usually get nailed with everything else that your car has thats illegal, so its a lose-lose. ---

> [@94Gt5.0](#): > > +1, but i would NEVER drill holes in a nice car… i told the guys at the dealership if i showed up to pickup the mach and there was a plate attached to the front, to rip up the papers and the deal was off lol my buddy ordered a new GTI when they first came out. specifically said “NO FRONT PLATE MOUNT” on the purchase order… went to pick it up. some doofus sales man was outside drilling 3/4" holes , crooked and offcenter in his new cars bumper… he pointed out on the order where it said that. the sales manager wasnt very happy. just cost them over 1000$ to fix it. :lol ---

I’ve been driving around without a front plate for about 4 years now. Got pulled over twice by the same Colonie cop who I let allowed to tell me the “You know why I’m pulling you over speech” twice until he looked into the window just to laugh and say “Hi, Vlad, when did you get this car?” :lol The only time I actually got a ticket for it, was when I went down to the city (NYC) to pick up the Miata. I didn’t bring any tools to secure the plate on with, so I put the rear plate on hand-tight with the assumption that if it falls off during the ride back, at least I will have another plate. Left the car parked to visit Manhattan, just to come back and find a no-front plate ticket left at my car (55$ IIRC). That was the only time I got nailed with it, and thats when I wasn’t even in the car :confused ---

> [@slwrthnu](#): > > fuck front plates, how often do you get the ticket. pay it and forget about it. Yeah, I think next year I’m gonna try and run without a front plate again. I got stopped quite a few times when the car had the 240sx front on it without a plate. But this year with the Silvia front I had the plate on and was never seemed to attract attention. So Fuck It, no plate next year. $150 ticket isn’t to bad, no points is a plus. ---

Not even riced out. I’m completely back to stock haha. I’ll go to court…see if I can get it dropped (my brother got a limo tint ticket dropped by the judge). I’ll be going after work, so I’ll be decked out in some schnazy clothes as I always look my best at work. If not…$180 it is. No biggie. It’s the same courtroom that I got sentenced in for a high speed chase…long story…if ya’ll wanna know I can make a story thread about it lol…so I hope it’s not the same lady. She was MAD at me. I thought she was gona come over the bench and bitch slap my ass (I was 16 - I’m 21 now). ---

I paid between 80-100 for my fromt plate tickets I used to get. The funny thing is, I would get them all the time in my previous cars, but with the Corvette, they don’t even look twice. Kinda fucked. ---

> [@Hooked on 240](#): > > mines like…4 inches? :🙂 ;D It takes a real man to admit that. The new Civic will not have a front plate. I’ll just keep it in the car for when I get pulled over… Then I can tell the cop “Sir… It’s a Civic. Who puts a front plate on a Civic?
