I know this is really really off topic but god damn you need to fix that head light gap. It looks horrible on such a nice car.

I guess out here in Texas, it's okk to have it on your Windshield. I got a ticket a few week's ago by a Trooper. He said nothing about the plate on the Dash, gave it a look for the plate #'s and finished writing the ticket. He didnt even give me a Warning or anything, only time i got a Warning for it was when i 1st removed it and didnt have it on the dash. Ive passed by a few other Trooper's and they just stare for a bit, im guessing to see if the plate's viewable. They never turn around after me though. The city cops around here dont give a ****.

i've been pulled over with the plate on the windshield and not ticketed. doesn't mean that it's legal since they didn't write a ticket. it's just a dick move when they do write a ticket for the plate.

Last November my wife and I were in Andrews for my mother's funeral (which was in Denver City). On the last night we were there an APD officer pulled me over for doing 35 in a 25 (odd thing about that is everyone else was doing at least 40). I thought it was going to be about my not having a front plate. He didn't even notice I didn't have a front plate.
