    Im pretty sure all newer vehicals need a third brake light. Dont know what year that became a requirement. It also cant be obstructed.


    Yep...

    Love the mountians and the beach and having all 4 weather seasons. But I disagree with most of the people in my states political views. Good news is most of the local TW members I know agree with my views. It must be a tacoma thing.

    This thread is full of vag...or it seems anyways with the useless bitching about insignificant bullshit :) I was thinking maybe based on the title the dealership took the corner to sharp and hit that damn yellow post that seems to pop out of nowhere.

    I doubt that is a law.... "legally have to be drilled in the bumper". :rolleyes:

    If someone used a hidden mount bracket to mount the plate, is the truck still street legal?

    Only true for the existing and older green colored plates here. Registering a car today in MA (red plates) gets you 2 plates to mount.... like it or lump it, we get 2.

    IMO the new owner should not be forced to have a front plate even if the state law requires a front plate - the dealer can offer the option yes/no, and the owner can suck it up and pay the fine if they willfully choose to break state law. Sometimes it works that way, sometimes it doesn't.

    Personally I don't understand how the appearance of the front end of someone's truck can possibly be worth the hassle of being pulled over and/or fined. Maybe these aesthetics can be an issue for gorgeous super-clean supercars. We have Japanese pickup trucks, not Lamborghinis. WTF


    Amen.


    In CA, it's a $250 fine. And, Amen.


    Holy crap, my sarcasm detector just exploded. LOL thank you sir. And I'm sorry if you actually have any of those conditions. :eek:
