    Take it off? I've never had a front plate

    Hawaii law states a front plate is required. To make it worse, dealer drilled holes in be bumper. :annoyed:

    Yeah I'm forced to do front plates in MT too. Such crap. When I was an LEO in AZ years ago I can't think of a single time I wished a vehicle had front plates on it. I see no point in them.

    Yep. And I made lots and lots of traffic stops. Wrote lots of tickets. And never once did I ever think, "God I wish Arizona required front license plates so I could read them."

    If you're passing the opposite direction of a moving vehicle how long do you REALLY have to read their front plate anyhow? If you get my attention while we're passing each other you're probably driving poorly enough I have reason to stop you without reading your plate. And if I'm behind you the front doesn't matter anyhow.

    Now, other cops or former cops can very readily disagree. But I personally never felt a need for them. In my individual opinion they simply ruin the front of cars.

    True but LAPD DUI teams use that as a reason to do stops. Pulled me over in Venice but I was not drinking and got a fixit ticket.
    Like your Avitar. 441?

    I'll be removing my front plate later this week. That combined with the tinted windshield and front side glass might just catch unwanted attention. I'll report back if it does

    The day I stop modding my truck/cars is the day I'm dead. It will never stop and every single time I look at one and say "Yup, I'm done modding it as it is now perfect" within 1 month I start doing something different.

    Modding is an addiction. I need MA.
