I don't havn't been bothered yet, but tail light covers seem to piss them off go figure

maroman88 06-14-2009 10:17 PM

i just screw the cover on quick if i go to a show... and if it should happen to saty on for a few days after then so be it lol... i made a bracket for the 88

nope, haven't for a couple of years, I will not drill into my grille. I keep the plate in the backseat so I have an excuse as to why it's not mounted in the front if I get pulled over.



haha me too.

Just tooki it off friday...

btownws6 06-14-2009 11:19 PM

i have never had one on the car and refuse to mainly b/c if my car doesn't have a distinct spot ready for the plate then it doesn't belong there. besides that i think it's ugly i love my little bird in the front lol

FlyingDutchman 06-14-2009 11:36 PM

i do and my buddy has gotten pulled over 3 times (got tickets 2 outa 3)

camarotwofast 06-15-2009 12:40 AM

no front plates here on my SKY or SS, just on the denali

Sky has tinted cover on the rear
Denali has tinted covers front and rear.
SS has no rear license plate light even.

Sky has NY plate
SS and denali are NJ
SS has the optional "support Law enforcement" plate

All 3 vehicles have noticeable US Army Decals on rear windows... lol


an example...in august, i got pulled over in the SKY for 88 in a 55 in ny, got ticket for no front plate and the rear tinted cover, since the cop wanted t give me a break(only 42 bucks each) well, on jan 5th i finally decided to call the court to try to pay, i explained i was deploying within 5 hours and just send the fine amount to my house in nj... 2 weeks later, my mom forwards me the letter from the court listing ticket numbers and all, at the bottom, the judge wrote "all charges dissmissed" lol...


moral of the story with how and what i drive, a front plate is the least of my concerns...

i got pulled over in the 96 yesterday (was driving it to show the g/fs dad who was up from Florida) for no inspection sticker and no front plate. the cop said he would normally give me a ticket but he has a lot of respect for the Military. i said thank you, he said "no thank you" and shook my hand before walking away.

No front plate on my vehicles. Hate the way they look. Haven't gotten hassled in a while but I'm sure I will now since I said it.

Mike 06-15-2009 11:35 AM

all three cars have it........

trailblazer has one because they mounted the plate holder on the bumper so it would look stupid without one.

civic has one because i just dont care how it looks.....

trans am has one because again, i just dont care, if i want to cover it ill put the plate cover on

firebirdcrazy 06-15-2009 12:58 PM

Got tired of that being used as an excuse to get pulled over. So for the shows I put the cover on and take it off before I drive off now. I have to get it repainted now since I messed it up pretty good yesterday.

LuvMyF8LWS6 06-15-2009 01:50 PM

I haven't had a plate on my LT1 for over a year. Got stopped 3 times, but all 3 was when i had the top down.... so blond girl, black convertible trans am = harassed a lot. lol I just took it off my LS1 and replaced it with the cover, and so far so good!

Squirrel 06-15-2009 02:32 PM

i had one on my car. its just another reason to get pulled over, and you dont want that if youre trying to get home safe

JW 06-15-2009 02:54 PM

I never put mine on my car since I bought it brand new. Been 7 years now and not pulled over once for it!

JW :D

blue z 06-15-2009 02:56 PM

no plate here looks so much cleaner no inspection sticker either which i got to do something drawing alittle to much attention to the front end lol
