Any comments from all you no-platers?
I hate to be "that guy" but I am.
My reason, avoiding tickets, and I paid extra for hat vanity plate, so why not sport it.


I'm still surprised the poll is almost 50:50 at present though!

naw, directly in front of the AC condenser pretty far back. I got written up when I didn't have the plate, so I had to mount it there. Amuse R1 style FRP bumper, so license plate holes

HINT!! It is BEST TO HAVE A FRONT PLATE IF YOU DRIVE AND PARK AT THE METER IN SF!! Chances DPT is really strict and will cite you for almost anything simple to catch up w/ the city cost to fund SFPD. Don't tell me I didn't warn you. My first three no front plate citations were having my car parked downtown SF and in Sunset Taraval Street and Irving w/out a plate. 4th one was making an illegal u-turn but there was no sign so he let me go for that but got me a citation for no front plate instead. I think that was nice of the officer lol
