Front License Plate
According to the Calilfornia DMV website, vehicle code 5200:
Quote:
Display of License Plates
5200.
(a) When two license plates are issued by the department for use upon a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, one in the front and the other in the rear.
(b) When only one license plate is issued for use upon a vehicle, it shall be attached to the rear thereof , unless the license plate is issued for use upon a truck tractor, in which case the license plate shall be displayed in accordance with Section 4850.5.
|
OK, some of you seem to have taken off the front license plate (ezekielwhore  ), you might want to put it back on.

I took off the front plate holder today to wash the car and noticed a huge hole with a metal screw holder jutting out! Anyone else have the same??? There are also two little holes to either side of the center hole where it looks like they marked locations for something. Are they supposed to be there?

Yeah, front plates are ugly. But unless they adopt RFIDs, ugly plates will be the primary way to ID the vehicle.
BTW, ezekielwhore, how long did it take you to receive the plates?

ezekielwhore, sorry for wrongly accusing you, I think I read somewhere that you were telling a guy to take off those front plates, and jumped into conclusions that you took it off yourself
I feel sheepish now....

I'm leaving it on, because I'm a weenie. Anyway, when I last washed my car, I looked closely at the front plate, and I don't THINK they screwed a hole in. The frame seems to be attached under the front bumper. I don't know how to explain it, but it's nice to know that should I ever feel cool enough to take the front off, it'll look okay.
EXCEPT... I realized that the frame has left a line of scratches across the top edge. Pictures later, maybe. My car's affinity for scratches is depressing me.
alskdjfalskdfj. This sucks.

there should be one screw behind the plate. just take off the license plate and see if theres a screw in there. right in the middle. |

I'll take my front plate off when I do photo sessions for my FIt. 
Remind me to bring the screw driver to our Fit meet.

I don't think it's a big deal. I never put the front one on for any of my cars. I live in So Cal and I have yet to have a problem.
In the event that you do get pulled over, just BS some excuse. If anything, it's a fix-it ticket and not a moving violation. No biggie.

I've been cited for not having a front license plate, but that was only after getting pulled over for speeding in the first place.
Another time, a cop talked to me, but after finding out that i was working for a club on campus, he let me go after seeing that i was a "good kid".
I think in most communities, it shouldn't be an issue, just be careful in places like Irvine or Palos Verdes where the cops have no real crime to deal with.
