    I didn't even notice that. You would think they would be happy it's on there and the numbers are visible. I don't have my license plate on the front at all, I've gotten pulled over a cuple of times and the copes never noticed.

    I'd say that's illegal...plus don't you need the tags on it also? Or do those just need to be on the rear?

    ^Some states don't require a front plate...but I'm pretty sure chopping up or modifying your plate would be illegal

    Yeah I can always do that but I'm not to worried about it. At least with a front plate on I'm legal in any state.:)

    I believe I read somewhere that the license plates are property of the state and modifying it anyway is illegal. As for the legality of front license plate, it is the law here in CA. I did drive a truck for 5 years without a front plate here with no issues. Although not having a front plate just gives the cops a reason to pull you over.

    Sometimes the sheriffs do DUI check points during the holidays and they ticket people with any vehicle violations (front plates, dark tints, lowered vehicle, use of big tires on a lift without fender flares, turn signal bulbs color, etc...)along with the check points. I guess it generates money for the city and the sheriffs. I think it averages out to about 1 of every 4 cars that passes through. They do this a lot in Huntington Beach over here.

    Makes sense and you cant really blame them if you have something illegal done to your vehicle.
    Exactly.
