Default Stupid Virginia...

Due to circumstances beyond my control I'm moving to Virginia in the Norfolk area. So that leaves me looking for a clear front plate cover for my TA. I'm pissed that I'm required to have a front plate and I have to take off the bird logo with the decals and all. I'm hoping after I get the clear to use blue tint on the bird logo itself. Does anyone know where I can buy one of these? I've seen a couple in existance.

Only time I had problems was going on and off base.

Once that started, I registered the car in my home state... FL

I know for Camaro they have a bracket that attaches
under the bumper, but a plate covers up the front part of
the grill anyway.

Some people have attached it to the air damn underneath,
and some have just put it in the windshield.

I run it on the front, just cuz I've got a perfect driving
record, and I don't wanna give them any more excuses
to pull me over other than red sports car.

If you were to get pulled over for not having the front plate on it wouldn't be a moving violation right? It shouldn't affect insurance should it? As of right now I'm not planning on putting a front plate on. It just doesn't look right. And the decals kick ***! Here's my car: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~dfrischm/ The vid is only really audio of my exhaust.

Sweet! Finally a place where f-body's are appreciated! Around me its all imports and crap. I joined a local car club and I was the only domestic. No respect despite the fact I would've rocked the doors off any of the hondas and bs they were all showing off. So are there any decent performance shops and/or clubs in the area?

I dunno if it goes on the driving record, ala insurance $$++, but...here in MO, it carries a $150 fine if you get written for no front plate.
