i'm not a fan of the idea myself. if you don't have a plate a cop will still pull you over, even if once he pulls you over you suddenly have a plate. maybe he decides to give you a ticket for something else. it seems like an antagonistic move to me.

For two reasons...

1) Ground clearance. My car isnt bad right now with that, but sometimes over hills or going into driveways, I can come pretty close. By moving it over to the side, it will have a little extra room. I think in the spring I may actually move it over a little more though.

2) The bracket will stick out farther and be more noticable. Although when I was playing with it, I thought it looked better in the front.

My main reason was because the front bumper points off in the center, and i would rather have the plate flush against the bumper rather than just a spot touching it. It also happens to stick out alot more and very noticeable even when hidden.

It's a nice idea. I have been pulled over a couple times for no front plate. The remote one is nice.

I gotten away with no plate for a few months now.

Like someone already mentioned you usually get pulled over for it and its not a fix it ticket because its money for the city.

Liteupem02 ...Did anyone bother you for the plate on air damn since Its probably not catch-able by a red light camera?
