Hell I been pulled over for tint twice and I don't have tinted windows. Beat the tickets of course. Just the cops trying to make their quota.

I got pulled over once in the 7 years I drove my accord coupe without a plate. I got off with a warning. Dumbest part about the whole thing was that the Highway Patrol officer did a complete U-Turn from the other side of the highway, just to pull me over for no front plate. He had to cross a rather large median and speed up to catch me just for no front plate.

I didn't put one on after that and I don't have one on my 2IS.

Man, I'd hate so much to throw a front plate on my IS. I mean, really, how often does it help in even the worst situations?

Come to New Orleans, we don't even get emissions tested

Been pulled over once in my 911. Not yet in my IS. Ask the guys in the vettes, it seems like none of them ever have front plates but yet they never get any tickets...
