another texas front LP thread...
 
I'm curious, with the law changing last month (you now get a $200 ticket for no front LP) how many of you who previously did not have one, put it on? I've been meaning to order the Grimmspeed relocation kit, just haven't gotten around to it.

i did. i've already been pulled over for no front plate a couple of times and
i figured the troopers would now be more than happy to write me a $200
ticket after finding nothing else to charge me. especially after not being
able to do anything the last two years...

i may take it off in a few months once the novelty dies down. ;)

Still haven't been pulled over, still don't plan on changing it.

Maybe Austin cops don't care? I've noticed most 86s I see around town don't have a front Lp....

Perrin relocation kit for me. Didn't have one on previously.

Been driving around 6 years in Austin in a bright red 2002 Camaro SS with no front LP and my Ultramarine now for a year with no LP, still nothing. If anything, I get stared at like, "What is that???" Even cops at the car show in Leander go by it and don't say a thing.

Now, I did get pulled over in DF/W for no front LP when I was 17. They're a little more strict up there.

I got a speeding ticket in Irving two weeks ago and no mention of the front LP missing. I think most of them don't really care, but I'm sure it differs from cop-to-cop.

Running zipties until my tow hook relocation kit arrives from the $40 Massdrop groupbuy

Meh i picked up the Grimmspeed kit before i got the car. I didn't want to even bother risking driving w/o the front plate.......even though most cops around here don't care.

Same here.

Honestly, I think state troopers are the ones that are the picky ones. I got pulled over 3 times in one trip from Dallas to Lubbock in my white Firebird Formula. I had to tell one cop his buddy already gave me the warning, then the same story to a THIRD cop. Yeah, needless to say I got a front license plate that time. They were out to get college kids on that road though.

Alexm_09 10-04-2013 06:09 PM

i still don't have a front license plate on my car after 6 months owning it and never been pulled over. within the last 2 weeks i've been pulled over 3 times for no LP but been given warnings all 3 times.

no front plate...tossing around ideas. most of which at this point i do not care for:/
