I dont know about going on a record or what. They might keep track of them but these are minor infractions. Ive gotten 5+ from those parking fools and each time ive only needed to have it signed off by a cop and send in the 10 dollar fee and it goes away.

Keeping your car registered in OK is a big big risk apparently. I was once told of a horror story by one person. He had been in Cali for awhile and got pulled over on THANKSGIVING. He claims they impounded his car because of the out of state plates. Not sure how long he had them like that.

As for tint, it doesnt matter what plate you have on your car. If it is darker then legal and the cop wants you to take it off you will have to have it done. I have way darker then legal and no cop has ever given me grief.

I guess the question is, how risky are you? Feel lucky...punk?

Your infractions are spooled and recorded on several redundant mainframes that law enforcement can pull-up when they pull you over. Become a chronic front plate violator and they will know; they will even know whether it is on the same vehicle. Out of state plates and not registering within the alloted time will also get you eventually nailed as they look for that; the only exception are those in the Armed Forces.

I will never disgrace my front bumper on this car with an ugly plate. My wife never had a plate on her boxster from day one (it's a 99) and never got pulled over for no front plate.

Screw em.

I wont be installing front plates on mine either. Even if I do get a ticket, ill just pay it and continue not to have plates on.

Never have and never will

I drove my 06 350 without a front plate till i bought my 370. Be cool and you will be fine.

That's one thing i love about kentucky: no front plate required. In fact, you have to pay extra for that 2nd plate.

molamann · 03-29-2009, 01:43 AM

What happens if a cop pulls you over again? Don't you get like a super ticket?

We make a removable front license plate bracket for this exact reason. It connects to the front factory tow hook, and is extremely secure.

Also allows for very easy fitment that can be removed at any point.

I thought we added the application, but apparently we didn't, I'll fix that on Monday, but the G37 bracket fits the 370Z..

The 370Z is one of the few automobiles where a plate on the front does not look bad at all.
