I never got caught for doing over speed limit so I don't know. I also got ticketed for not coming to a complete stop(at friking 5mph) at the corner, it was 112.

That sucks for Evo X drivers. I think it's kinda kool having the front plate on the side instead of the center.

If I were to order an Ft86 I would specifically tell the dealer not to put holes in the front bumper cover or else I wouldn't buy it.

I got a ticket for that when I parked my car in Manhattan . . . it said improper plate location. I have my license plate off to the side now. I got a ticket before for having a frame around my back license plate, that the dealer tacked on there *facepalm*.

I think I can get away with leaving the front license plate off once I buy the FRS. Speaking of, what does this have to do with the FT86?

One, but I used to live in a two.

For what it's worth, online petitions don't really work for anything other than blowing off some steam. Just don't want anyone to get their hopes up.

I'm sure there will be a tow hook connection on the front of the production car somewhere. Just wait for a company to come out with a tow-plate and mount it there. Otherwise be prepared to pay the fine if you get pulled over.

That is unlucky. I got a warning just recently.

Because I assume a FT-86 will need plates to be driven on the road?
