Required in TX, so I have the show-n-go plate just in case :)

Boost. are the motors water proof and have decent power rating? Contemplated on that thing but not totally convinced. Could use some credible recommendations.

Don't need front plates in Florida. :happydance:

As mentioned, it is required in Texas. I don't like giving cops any reason to pull me over, so I installed it without the bracket. I just screwed the frame and plate directly into the black plastic piece, and I love that it doesn't project out in front of the car from the side view :tup:

I can't seem to find a side view photo, but here's a close up from the front of what I did.

I sure find it humorous when people black out their license plates in photos. I just don't see the point when tons of people see my license plate on a daily basis. I always wonder if those people cover up their plates whenever they park their cars :icon17:

You get manual ones or electric/remote ones :tup:

Amazon.com: show and go license plate

you can still see something hanging under the car when you take a pict with that show-n-go, no?

i just use the factory plate bracket. i cover the plate black when i take picts as the plate is not very pretty with its ugly colors.

Another reason not to use the factory bracket :tup:

kenchan 05-03-2013 10:23 AM

but the factory bracket is nice. it's real abs plastic, not some faux abs. :icon17:

Living all my life in two plate NY my eye is used to seeing a front plate. I would go for a more discrete braket and use a plate cover but I would not want to deal with the time, worry or pay and get the plate. I guess my plate does make the car look like the tongue is sticking out.

SmokeEater27 05-03-2013 10:59 AM

just like Nailzs I only have to show my rear plate on the car, one of the few perks of living in florida :tup: now on the other hand I have had the sheriffs pull me over for a tinted plate cover :shakes head:..Give and take i guess

kenchan 05-03-2013 11:11 AM

they should just make the damn plates a barcode. people take picts and the barcode app shows 'F-U' or something.

jokes aside, they should designate a gps tracking via toll transponder. this way no more need for stupid plates.

I havent had a plate on my car since I got it, and have never been pulled over for it (in NY). Though one of the handful of times my mom took my car to work she got pulled over for no plate (just a warning), and mind you she drives like a grandma. At least thats what she tells me...

kenchan 05-03-2013 12:51 PM

why are you living with your mom...
