License plate

Which way do you prefer your front license plate to be displayed?

I have seen some people have no plate, tilted, or just normal front plates.

either off... or in OEM location. any other place looks retarded.

I agree that having no front plates looks the best. However, I am not sure if I should risk getting a ticket for no front plates. I just received my plates today, so I still can decide.

Gotta have 'em front & back here. I class them up a bit by putting the clear protector shield on them. The plates stay clean and the shield adds to the shine factor.

Just put the plate on, it's not that big of a deal. it's better to have it and not get a ticket.

of course it look better with no plates

what i do/done to all my cars is buy that plate relocator at autozone (10 bucks) and put it to the driver side under the grill/big hole

if you dont trust in your self/or dont want to drill 2 new holes for thr relocator, tilting the plate also makes it looks nice

i also use to have it on my driver side window visor, but in the state of Texas the plate has to be towards the front of the car, and thats considered the middle

maybe that would work for another state where the rule is more along the lines of the plate just being visible

NJ requires both front and back. PA is only back.

i seen people with no bumper holes on their front bumper so do they qualify for a ticket?

I just did the blue tinted covers on mine front and back. I then continued the blue theme by painting drums and calipers blue. I added blue H to wheels and the rear H. Also a blue H on windshield brow when I had it tinted

Uncle Gary would rather have no front plate, but here in New York, only Corvettes seem to be able to get away without a front plate (or at least you NEVER see a 'vette with a front plate).

I suspect that most 'vette owners only drive them on Sundays.

For a daily driver, I'll run the front plate. Why give Johnny Law "probable cause" to stop you?

though I live in a state that doesn't require a front license plate, mine was still dealer installed. I haven't checked if Mississippi requires a license in the front because that's where I think my Fit came from...

The only front plates around here are decorative or dealer advertising. None on my car.

What is tilted? Like turned sideways?
