agreed.

as Maddox would say...

Seven sixteenths of one inch:




anyways, I just don't want to deal with the hassle of getting ticketed for no front plate. My car had a front plate when I got it, and I just left them there

Caps are annoying to read. For some reason, it makes me read slower (maybe I'm a little retarded, but that's besides the fact). In additional to the CAPS, misspelled words don't help the "flow" either.

1. for my tint (6%)
2. clear front side markers
3. for the super white bulb in there (how fkn lame is that)?

Mandatory front plates are not just there for red-light cameras or laser. They also serve a number of functions, like making it easier for police to spot stolen or carjacked vehicles, (providing that the plates haven't been swapped), track getaway cars used in bank robberies, verify correct license numbers ( obviously, if you got different front and rear tags, there's a problem somewhere), and, last but not least, it helps make it much easier for YOU to identify YOUR OWN car in a big parking lot if you are parked nose-out.

I don't think that's much of a problem unless you have an Accord/Civic/Camry/Taurus or another really popular car What are the chances of an identical car as yours (same color) is parking near your car?
