Just installed my front license plate with the RightCar frame in black. It does look nice with the front plate bracket.

I've been running with no front plate for 3+ years and no ticket yet but just don't like the feeling of always in fear of seeing a ticket on my windshield every time I park on the street or getting pulled over. So I gave in and installed it.

@ItzFilyO - Yes, it does look nice with the license plate mounted in the black silicone frame and mounted on the factory front bracket. The silicone frame gives it a layered or stacked look.

I don't blame you for giving-in and installing a front license plate on the factory bracket. It'll probably save you some headaches and money in the long run. Now LE doesn't have an easy excuse to pull you over or give you a ticket. I don't think it looks bad at all...

Haha this is so true. I'm lucky I've never had to finance a car.

My GS is financed. I didn't mind taking them up on their financing offer as it was 0% interest for 60 months.

I've been running with expired state inspection for 2+ years lol. In Virginia only emissions is required to renew the registration and we have drive by emissions read/reporting. I've passed by cops, even parked next to a cop car. Between my illegal tints and expired inspection sticker they don't seem to care. My inspection is 04/20 lol. I'm thinking about taking the sticker off the windshield all together. When cops run your plates here inspection does not come up, just registration.

Do you lease or you bought paid in full?

I bought my 2013 GS paid in full. I regretted doing so despite Dave Ramsey telling me it was the best decision ever. Everyone's situation is different but I plan to finance future purchases unless interest rates are greater than 7%.

Just write a check. I've never financed a vehicle or a house, and own real estate in Texas, Florida and North Carolina.

Nice!

That is not for me. I'd rather take advantage of the cheap rates and bet the rest on the market. But like I said, everyone's situation is different.
