Twice in the last 3 weeks (tints n plates), Its my sexy exhaust that gets them wondering...I got cuffed and harassed yesterday after leaving my school parking lot at about 9PM. He did like 3 different sobriety tests and asked me like 5 times "how much marijuana have u had today son."...while he was moving his little pen i just said "im sober"....said "i can tow your car right now for DMV fraud, you know" i just responded "no you cant"...searched my car and asked a bunch of stupid questions about performace and gas mileage n said "okay good thing ur not drunk so im just going to give you a little homework assignment." :facepalm:

Never had a front plate on my 06 350Z or on my 09 370Z, as long as you are not an idiot you wont have an issue.

Let me guess, Glendale?
I agree, it's the Mr. Shaft exhaust that you have that's the root of it all.
I'm putting my front plates on. I hate trouble......

Got my FI HFC and CBE installed today.......it sounds awesome. ou should look into it. As for my plates, I zip tied the sucker on the grill and it looks ugly as heck. Will drill the holes and install the holder once the vanity plates i ordered arrive. I'll be a boys scout and follow the rules. Done with dealing with cops. Too old for that crap.

Well have u guys thought of having a plate but in a sticker form? I have seen an Evo and a Lamborghini having one of these around where I live.

I have not had a front plate on my cars here in CA (where it is required) since 1982. I've received 3-4 tickets for speeding during that time but never been cited for a lack of front plate. However about 10 years ago I did get a fix it ticket. I lived near a school and knew to keep my speed down as traffic enforcement in that neighborhood was pretty heavy. I was driving down the street doing about 20 in a 25 zone and could see up ahead a motorcycle patrolman had pulled over a car and was writing a ticket. The officer saw me coming, stepped out into the street and motioned me to the curb. I thought WTF ? When he was done with the other driver he wrote me a no front plate ticket which was a total chickenshit act. I put a plate on, paid the fine, took it back off and haven't had a plate on my cars since. But I also don't commit many acts to draw attention to myself to invite a ticket either. Except for the weasel motorcycle officer who was on a ticketing frenzy that day.

I took my front plate off. I really was distasteful. I'm gonna put it in the trunk, and say it keeps rattling loose........?????????????
