Default Finally got license plate cover

Well After searching for one at a decent price for a very long time, I finally found this one at ATCO raceway. I bought it for 50 bucks from some girl with a red Trans Am. Its in great condition, seems like she tried driving around with it for a while until she got pulled over. I havnt been able to find one this cheap anywhere. From the dealership theyre about $75 unpainted and on ebay, if I found a red one, they were asking just over that plus shipping. So I'm happy. Although my car is just getting more illegal. tint and no front plate (very illegal in NJ). I guess you could say I'm asking for a ticket. heres some pics...

In Texas, I have my plate cover on and the police have not bothered me. In Virginia, that was a different story. You can only get so many $75 tickets before you give up. Now, get the black decal for the bird.

Thankfully this doesn't affect me, but maybe you NJ residents should pass this around:

You might also start contacting State Senators and Reps for your district. Direct them to the petition. You can find their contact info here.

I remember living in Jersey for a while. Everybody with a nice car bitched about the Front License plate thing. I'm sure if it got on a ballot it would pass. Sorry to say though it won't lower your taxes any, no matter how much metal and labor it saves.

damn, ive been looking for a front plate cover for a long time now too, just cant seem to get them anywhere for a decent price. So if you get too many tickets, let me know, and i'll take it off your hands when you feel the need to put your plate back on!

I think in cali they let us put in in the front window instead of on the bumper.

and if not, it doesn't matter, because i don't do either. Never was bothered in my fiero for no having a front plate.(they probably felt bad for me haha)
