First time Pulled over in the Z

Get the Stillen Front Plate kit that goes in your front tow hook spot. You won't have to drill your bumper.

i think someone said something about cop actually tugs at it sometimes to make sure it's secure?

i would do the stillen bracket if you want the option to remove it.

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.

No offense, but in the unlikely event of an accident, I don't want a guillotine in my car.

None taken, brother. I'm comfortable with my decisions!

Looks like this might work..for now.
I don't seen stillen front plate thing working out for me if all I will do is take right back off.
perhaps if it happens again, then I will consider it as more of an option.
Here in Socal almost no one have front plates..
especially vettes, bmw, Benz, all the high end exotics..

edit: so how do these zip ties work ?? I just tie it around? or what.. .

yah, you can got to autozone or even walmart to pick them up. get the ones that are at least 4mm width and just zip tie it to the plastic vents.

then cut the excess off with wire cutters or scissors.

Yup, nice to cops = respect back at you.

I was clocked speeding in my Z (first time ever caught speeding in general), I think it 70 in a 45 or something, but being respectful and truthful, he wrote me up for having something hanging on the rear view mirror instead.

Apparently it's illegal in Jersey to have something hang there. So I got slapped with a $50 fine instead of something much worse.

Crucify me if you must, but I don't see the big deal in rocking the front plate. It doesn't ruin the look of the car, IMHO. The drilling thing is a valid concern but there are ways around it. I would rather be road legal and not attract any unnecessary attention from the force. To each his own.

i run front plates too since our state requires it. and ive been pulled over too many times just for that over the decades and just got old (just warnings).

i made this black cover out of hard felt and thin magnet. i just stick to the plate frame when i want to take picts. there are 2 holes at the tops where i have the plate screw caps so that the cover sits completely flush.

ive actually driven around with it on after a photo shoot by mistake.

oops... did not fly off.
