First time Pulled over in the Z

Sorry I can't comment for your SoCal location, man.

North Dakota is the same way though. Gotta have "front-facing" plates in accordance with DOT. So, much like the other super-tuners in town, I did this...



No complaints from the local cops here in Fargo. Only the State Troopers give me crap when they swing through the city.

aha, I've seen people do that, however, I do not like the idea of having the plate like that either lol.

Normally here is Socal, cops won't give you crap for the front plate. In my situation, it helped me get away with a speeding ticket. It was either the front plate, or a 500$+ speeding ticket with points on my license + insurance premium..etc. lmao

You're only looking at it one way. It could be 2 tickets the next time and if it's the same cop that pulled you over, he may not be as friendly the next time, as you didn't do as he asked.

No pull overs here yet!

A buddy of mine is an EMT. He strongly advises against putting it in the windshield. In the event of an accident, it is a very sharp projectile.

+1. I have seen some pics during defensive driving course training, of pepole who had their plates wedged in the dash/window. They slammed on their brakes, got hit from behind, and the plate flew towards them and sliced their neck. Not a pretty sight.

OP, this is the plate mount I run on my car:

I had it in the windshield for a few days a long, long time ago. My EMT buddy's exact words to me were "You're a complete ******* idiot putting that there." Considering he's seen the aftermath more than a few times, I listened.
