Nice! I'll give them a ring this weekend and compare prices. Thanks!

Thanks VDC. Ill check it out. I bought the car there.

Whats up Matt. Its been awhile. My tint there too. And my clear bra! They do give you a lifetime warranty on the tint. I've gone once.

WOOOAAHHH!!!!!! Where have you been?

Any specific person to look/ask for? Get some decent deals/discounts? Haha

2 things.

1. Are we allowed to drive without front plates here in houston? I was driving around all day and saw a bunch of cars driving without front plates on and the cops never even paid attention to any of them. Just wondering.

2. Advertisement

maybe for the wife? or for the Mr.? or even for that SO? :p

Got mine for $150 and he came over and did it in my garage. PM me for info.

Texas law u are supposed to have a front plate.....But no one obeys it much. I will never put a front plate onto my front bumper. Refuse to ruin it. I hardly ever see cops writing tickets for no front plate unless u got a lot of other stuff going on lol.

i got pulled over last yr at night, cop thought i didnt have a front license plate on bumper but when he came up he saw it on my dash and said it was fine. Another time i was around Katy and a state trooper gave me a warning to put my license on my front bumper, same thing happened in SA with a state trooper. Seems like city cops dont really care as much compared to state troopers.

IMO, its a BS law to give Law Enforcement officers (LEO) probable cause to stop vehicles to search/investigate for more serious offenses/crimes. In my experience most LEO will let you go with a verbal and/or written warning if you cooperate with them politely.

I ran without a front plate for 10 years on my Trans-Am, all over Houston and lots of TX roadtrips. I think I had one actual front plate ticket in that time, and it wasn't a big deal. Once or twice on other occasions the officer brought it up, but either didn't write it up or gave an official warning. I don't run a front plate on the Z either, no front-plate tickets for it yet in 3.5 years.

But they will use it as an excuse sometimes. If you're in a shady legal situation (e.g. outstanding warrants or some such ********), by all means put the front plate on :)

Nothing shady.. Been a law abiding citizen ever since I stepped foot in this country. Guess I'll just put a plate on the hook buy it online so I don't have to drill any holes. Thanks for the heads up!!

No plate is required if you are cool. ;)
Honestly, HPD and the Sheriffs do not care, it is the small local towns around here that will mess with you. Jersey Village, Spring Valley, Hedwig Village, etc. are all notorious for going after people for the littlest things.

I have run without one for years, had the Stillen bracket for awhile but it just never 'looked' right on the Z. I was pulled over once for "speeding" and they wrote me up for no front plate, this was just south of Dallas in a small town. The no front plate was thrown out of court. :tup:

I bet it was in Ferris? I remember that being a horrible speed trap when I used to make the Dallas<->Houston run regularly many years ago.

I got pulled over for no plate CONSTANTLY in the Z... Never once in the Stang :tup:

:gtfo2:

LOL

Dont be jelly!

Been driving the Z for a year no with no front plate. No tickets here either ;)

:icon23:

Ive been driving for 2 years ......oh wait... nevermind

One day I hope to be driving with no front plate :D

Hi just asking if any one is interested in some 40th anniversary rims and tires for sale or trade?

i got all ya beat, i drove for 3 months with no plates in tx. and now no front plate....:driving:

Chris, have you gotten your new fenders yet?

Yes they are on the car, but its still at the shop.

get ready for compliments from everyone including yo mama!

Awesome, can't wait to see it. Looking to get some in October.

I have a question, didnt want to start another thread so less clutter. Hopefully I can get some help from y'all.

I was driving the Z to work today and whenever I would release from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gear I feel a "jerk" idk how else to explain it. However when I go from 3rd to 4th...5th..6th nothing just smooth transition. I was wondering if I just suck at MT since I havent driven one in 3 years or its something else.

A. Go to baker and get them to check it out.
B. give it a couple more drives and if problems persists go to baker.
C. Youre being overly sensitive like all new owners.

another thing would be I hear some rattling when im on 3rd gear and I give her gas, not like the regular noise but something that stands out.

Thanks in advance for the help.

:hello: hi, guys! Are any of you going to Wekfest in Austin on the 30th?

Nope.

Bad timing for me or we would go. Austin is only couple hours away.

I was going to go make a weekend out of it along with other things but as with me I usually dont know until last minute because things keep changing. Still undecided.

Nope..

anybody know how much it would cost to get a uprev tune with dyno??

600 bucks around here in Bay Area.

... But totally worth it. Do some research in the forum! you might want fan mod and theft protection map etc. there is air more than just dropping off and saying "tune her up". (If you know a little about what is possible).

Also ask around on the forum for recommendations for a good shop on your area. That makes a big difference.

I think JTran and one other UpRev tuner in Houston. Why not make the road trip to Austin and have UpRev do it themselves? Also, imo, make sure you're done performance mods as you'll want to tune last.

cool thanks!, yeah im waiting on my FI exhaust and no more mods for the time being.

Hey y'all. Just got done posting in the intro section and figured I'd pop in here and say hello. Just picked up a white '10 370Z here in Houston. Do y'all do any meets/rides around town often?

:hello:
check the thread for Tuesday night meets. Also cupcake meet is coming up on Oct 13.

Welcome aboard Matt....
