In Cali your not allowed to put anything over your plate. I installed a plate frame with a plastic cover over it to make it easier to clean and was pulled over with all my work associates in the car and ticketed. Never heard the last of it..... :-(

At the time it was just a fix it ticket. Now, I believe there is a heavy fine comes with the ticket. This is because of speedcams and radar. I also hear that they are giving a lot more tickets for front plate missing this year from my friends that are officers because of the automated ticketing systems and their bosses getting after them for those cars that do not have them. I'll take my fine on the vette and the bird. However, the Z doesn't look too bad with a plate on so I have one on there now. Plus, it is my daily driver deep into Popoland at least three days a week.



The plate is just tacked on the there with black cable ties that I can cut for car shows and such...

Legal or not it's a good bet that you'll get pulled over regardless of weather or not your doing anything wrong.

i use to think that too, but in reality they are doing their job. but like everything there is an exception. There are those cops who abuse their authority, then there are the ones who are simply upholding the law. it depends what kind of cop you get.
