I got 2 tickets for no front plates in the last 2 months and I haven't had front plates for any of my cars since 2001. I think they're picking up on it lately, especially in the 626 area. Having a plate in the dash actually draws the pig's attention even faster to pull you over, since that isn't legal either. You'd might as well not put one at all rather than putting it on the dash. There's crooked cops everywhere, find one and they'll sign off your fix-it tickets for you, just like how I did mines. I got pulled over yesterday too btw, for incorrect lane usage on the 10 freeway when I tried to beat traffic on the exit lane, he asked about my front plate, but I just said I already have a ticket for that and the bracket is on the way in the mail, so he let me slide on that one.. So thats a lie you guys can put to use also.. it works! haha

Here in MN the front plate is required although it isn't in many states. I haven't had one on my car for awhile now, but i'm planning on getting personalized plates (then I won't mind having a front )

FYI.. I notice a plate in the windsheild WAY before i would notice one missing on the bumper and if I was a cop, I would immediately give extra attention to someone who put their plate up there (are they about to rob a gas station or something?) Around here only the ghetto integras and such throw the plate up there

So according to the law, our front turn signals can be white? I think I will stick to amber but for the sake of say...GS owners, getting the JP tails would be no problem (if it worked for rears...)
