Default Who drives without a.......

Who in here drives without a front license plates and what kind of encounters have you had with the police.

I see many corvettes without from plates, gets me to wonder if they ever get harassed.

I drive without a front plate on my S2k and have gotten pulled over twice. After $20 bucks in fix it tickets I decided its better to just leave it on.

Whats your guys thoughts on this?

i haven't put my front plate up which is LEGAL in NJ.
but haven't got pulled over, and i have faced policy face to face many times but they didn't bother pulling me over but staring at my car.

but i'll put it up soon since i don't want to get pulled over at unappropriate time such as after bar and stuff like that.

I figure it's not worth the hassle and the worry to run without a front plate. If you're going to run the front plate, I highly suggest Rick's front plate holder; it looks quite nice for a front plate. It's $35 well spent on the car.

Also, a quick search would bring up multiple threads on the subject.

Mine has never been on my car. Never had a problem or even been pulled over in over 8 years. I did get yelled at a couple of times over the loud speaker of cruisers and told to slow down but I think my 100+ MPH speed distracted them from seeing I had no front plate. Oh, a couple of cops have pulled up to me at stop lights and at the odd DUI checkpoint and chatted about the car a bit.

got poped once by a parking meter cop. real cops never bothered to pull me over for it or give it to me while pulled over.

Off Topic: those aren't stock wheels right? what kind of powdercoat is that? i love how they have that spoon flat black look.

No front plate here. Kentucky doesn't issue one!

It's not all good. They make me pay tax on the car value each year.
