Well, for those that knew me when my SS had the original engine still. i had my plate on the air dam like in that first picture. I bent the top of the plate in a door jam to let it line up perfectly with the bend in the air dam. I must have drove around at least a year or so with the plate like that. I got stopped a few times, mainly during road block/checks and told i have no front plate. Id tell the officer, yes i do, "walk about 15 feet in front of the car and kneel down".. trust me, cops dont really feel comfortable doing that, lmao. but when they would theyd see it and kinda laugh. Harrington park was gonna write me up, but i got to talking about my oil consumption issues and all and about the car and the cop was cool and let me go by just saying "fix it".
at night i would never get bothered because, a cop driving towards me or sitting on the side of the road at a lower angle could see it and since its reflective it stood out and they wouldnt realize it. BTW i was dating a cops daughter then and had a plethra of different PBA cards. there was also a 6 month period where my plates wouldnt come up in either of the 2 police/dmv used databases. thats was fun. lol.
When i got the car back on the road in '07, i put it off to the side of my SS grille just to avoid any reason to get stopped. But now i dont even run the plate on the front anymore. not really sure where it is to be honest...
