No front plate in Texas ticket? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm glad I do my own work. I wouldn't want someone touching my car. I'll put the plate if the state requires it, but in a non destructive way.

I treat my car like I treat my phone. It's clean, no one touches it, and I'm the only one that mods it.

NFLP is a good way to a get a stop on someone in a pinch...
But I would never issue a ticket for it.

Fantastic news. I knew there was a reason I kept the Tow Hitch Cap in a safe place. Roll on September

That would be good news but I don't see any news of this bill actually passing, just that it exists and will hopefully pass.

Where does it show that. All I can see is that it's left in Pending status in committee. It hasn't failed in Bill Stages. When a committee sends it to pending...does that mean they are just gonna leave it to die off?

You could always go for something like this...

Altec Products Inc. 400EU - Altec Product Show N Go License Plate Transports

*Unsure if animated .gif is using the same hardware as linked above, but I can only assume it is similar

Hi, I've had mine on the front windshield for about a year with small plastic suction cups and after driving around the city and highways with cops/ state troopers next to me they've never bothered to stop me. On my previous car I didn't have a front plate on and did get pulled over and at that time I was told that a front plate needed to be visible.

yup, I did this with my infiniti for almost 3 years and the cops never did have a problem with it being visible from the windshield
