Whats worse, cracked paint or front plate?
Well, I live in a front plate state. My father has never ran a front plate on any of his f-bodies, not his 2 86's, his 98, 99, or his vette's. He said hes had like 7 tickets for it and prolly been pulled over 20 or so times, but since they are non moving violations, you just pay the 75 bucks and go on your marry way.
Now I don't have a mollested car at all, as far as the front bumper goes, their are no holes on it from a plate mount. But the paint is bad up at the very nose, down low, its gone ( cant see it unless your on your butt lookint at it head one ) and its a tad bit spiderd... cant see it unless you get down their and look at it though, appearently the second owner touched a parking lot curb.... So I was looking at the SLP one for the camaro, it mounts under ther car and angles up, I liek that one, will it fit the TA? prolly not...
So should I just bolt on the stock piece, and live with it?
Get hte slp one, make it fit
get the nose repainted...

I am trying to get something started in NJ to get it changed, if possible. Waiting to hear back from my county rep. who is going to find out if anything can be done. It's a longshot, but I am going to at least try. I figure I want the same rights that other Americans have that don't have to have a car vandalized and defaced by a front plate. I didn't know state motor vehicle code could supercede the US Constitution.

I moved here to Texas from Indiana. Im still running my Indiana plate simply because I dont want to put a stupid Texas front plate on my car. When I finally do break down and buy one, or get a ticket forcing me to buy one, Ill probably put it on the airdam.
