I put it on my window, only time I have ever been bothered by it was in a town called Ramsey. One day I told a cop off since he was in on his high horse (long story), two weeks after that I got a ticket for it in that town, only $50. Other then that I have never been bothered by it even when undercover cops (I really think they were DEA agents) came to my parking lot and questioned me and flashed there lights in ever dark corner of my car, they never even said a thing XD

No plate on my last 3 cars. $80 fine here. I do however keep the plate under my driver seat. Haven't had to yet but, probably could slide it onto the dash without an officer noticing...
If need be, I'd go with the tow hook bracket befor drilling and covering the grille, the car runs too hot now stock, FI won't be any better. |

I always have a front plate except for the very day I picked up my FRS, which I got pulled over coming out of the dealership for. It wasn't like I meant to not put one on. I just didnt want the dealership to do it in case they drilled into the wrong part of the bumper, but no mercy from the cop =(

My dealer didn't drill the front license plate holder either. Been riding dirty since.

When I do break the law, I don't post about it a public forum.

I got away without one for about 6 months before I got a warning ticket from a state cop. The plate was in the back seat, so I think he bought my story blaming the dealer for not being able to get a bracket (true).
I finally installed mine using this bracket from Pep Boys- the bracket is secured to the plastic grille with two 3/16" x 3" toggle bolts, and the plate is screwed to the bracket. Very clean with no holes drilled. |
