i need one of these so bad...i hate having a front mount plate on my car it just ruins the whole look of the front of the car...so i keep it in my dash but i risk getting pulled over by the cops everytime i drive...its a kool addition to the car especially if you go to car shows alot and like to show off the front of the car...but the kit is pricey as hell

I'm so glad i've only lived in states with no front plates (indiana, arizona, florida) because LT1 T/A's look like *** with front plates

No doubt...I loved the front end of my 1997 LT1 Trans AM, clean and sharp looking. I kept my NYS plate on the dash, showing in the windsheild. It helped keep me from being pulled over for no front plate, but not 100%.

^^^not cool!

I have the manual one from some other company "Show-n-go" from summit for like $50.

It's cool. I got a ticket it so I slapped the bitch on. I contested it and lost, you can't contest front plate tickets according to Chicago laws.

So gay!

chicago is the most corrupt city in the country.

my dad works at a shipping yard on the south side and CPD will wait with portable scales and pull trucks over and write them tickets for being overweight...when they aren't overweight at all...

their scales are rigged and the tickets are $1200. one of the truckers got a ticket and immediatly drove his truck (which still had the sticker seal on the door to prove he didn't open the door and take weight out) to a truck stop with a certified scale and got his truck weighed proving he was legal and fought the ticket. CPD probably figures 1 or 2 out of every 10 people will contest the ticket so if they write 10 bogus tickets @ $1200 a pop, they will still get $9600 worth of revenue.

IMO, a front plate on almost ANY F-Body looks like ***. Especially '82-'02. I have my front plate underneath my 'bird cover.. Not that it makes it any better as far as law goes..

I have my plate in the trunk of the car. Everytime I get pulled over I tell them I'm waiting for a tag bracket since I just repainted the front bumper.

i hate how you can still see it when its in under the bumper that bothers me i wonder if someone could make it sit in the bumper just under the front bird cover and then pop out so you dont have to see the ugly bracket

shady as hell. I'm tired of this city, but I also love it here. It's just one of those things.
