Yeah! Just like OEM window tint vs. after-market window tint.

regardless of holes or no holes... no plate gets a fix-it. Unfortunately, I know this from experience. When the cop asked why I didn't have front plates, I told him I had no holes. He laughed at me as he handed me the ticket

OEM window tint is OKAY


california law requires every vehicle to have a front mounted plate

can will get a ticket depending on the officer, not law

I know. My point is that, while OEM tint is legal, after-market tint is illegal and that that is

I bet I can guess how many corvette, porsche, mercedes, etc. cars get front plate tickets in comparison to us.


I'd say its 100 to 1 in favor of our being ticketed.

That's it! I'm going to remove me front license plate and Honda-badges and replace them with Porsche badges.

Yea this is a completely BS deal. I got 3 tickets for no front plate in a 24 hour period while my car was PARKED outside my apt building. Apparenty they can ticket you EVERY 8 HOURS.

My GF dad has a Ferrari Modena 360 and he had no way of mounting his front plate without purchasing a $450 kit from the dealer. The cop that pulled him over suggested he "Screw it into the bumper with self tapping screws". F'ing clown SMPD!
