However I did have one motor cop yell at me while I was at an intersection to put a front plate on it.
I replied that I'll see what I can do
But what sucked is that the intersection he was hanging out in was the entrace to my community.
Thanks for the pic of the bumper plugs! I could definately live with those.
I don't have the car yet, I have two dealers working on a deal right now. One has the car without the front bracket, but won't give me a price, the other gave me a good price, but doesn't have the car yet, and insists on mounting the front bracket as soon as the car comes in.

My salesman was a little more considerate. The front plate holder is in the trunk and no holes in the bumper. I told him to mail the tags and I will take my chances.

The dealer I spoke with in Santa Monica told me that they are very strict there about the front plate. I guess if your city has meter maids itis easy money for them to write tickets for cars without front plates. He told me that even in a parking structure and you have paid the fee, they will still leave a no front plate ticket.
I don't go to Santa Monica or Beverly Hills, or cities like those very often. I guess that is why I have gotten away with such a horrible crime for so many years.

I thought for sure I was busted, but I guess they take a picture of the front of the car. While at the trade show I overheard two guys who did the same thing I did and they were wondering if they would get a ticket.
My Father in law did the same thing a few months ago and did get a ticket in the mail a few weeks latter.
I guess that is why front plates are so important to a local economy.
In my town we have these stop light cameras. I don't know if they take a picture of the back of the car or not. I'm very careful about red lights so I hope that won't concern me. But what bothers me about those things is that the company who installs them get a percentage of the money. That just seems wrong to me!
