Whats sad is that its way too easy to "break" the law these days i.e. Government both federal and state is TOO DAMN BIG.

sure did; but right before I deployed; the front license plate wasn't that big of a deal in Texas. probably will be a big deal when I make it back in Sept but it's ok cause IDGAF and military id gets you out of tickets in Houston for the post part haha

My plan is to have it placed on the grille, for me it looks odd on the bumper at least having it in the grille it looks like its eating it rather than it looking like a milk mustache. I find the offset look to be worse and thus I won't do the tow hook method.

my last car, i had modified every single exterior light, and drove on the highway with the sound system all the way up.. all without a front plate. never was pulled over once with that.. if they were looking for a reason, i had more then 10...

Speaking of this, since I will be moving to Cali soon, I am assuming that cali requires a front plate. However, my car is registered in WV. If I keep it registered in WV (where no front plate is required), do I need to have one being in Cali?

We all shared our experiences here but if there's one thing that should be extracted, it is the fact that breaking the law, is like playing Russian Roulette. If you w ant to play it and take your chance, then go ahead.

That said, if you decide to go ahead and continue to break the law and get caught but you won't change your ways.. you just might be the village ________ !

Or, in the case of Tesla Model S and supercar owners, they can simply afford to pay the ticket over and over again.

No front plate on either of my cars. Never had a problem, as long as you're not a **** they won't hit you with it.

I just bought the Grimmspeed Relocation Kit from the guy who advertises on the forum. It's legal and you can remove it whenever you want without having any ugly drilled holes in the bumper.

What do those go for? Seen them for $100 and that seems a little steep for what it is.
