Tempting. I do have some cute cousins.

They don't have front plates because too many folks were getting hit standing in the street trying to sound out what the plates say.

God bless hooked-on foe-hon-ix.

Drove from Lubbock to Austin last month (before Sept. 1st) and was pulled over twice within 15 minutes for not having a front plate. Luckily, after much convincing, I was only given warnings. Not sure after this new legislation if I would get that lucky again. Especially with DPS' new digital trackers that records all past interactions, tickets or even warnings. =/

Haven't had any issues without running a front plate on the Z. I've been stopped before for other reasons, and have even told the officers I did not have a front plate, but they didn't even blink or say anything about not having one.

However, I have custom plates -- I wonder if they are more lenient to those with custom plates -- since you technically give the city/county a little extra for them yearly?

As for law that requires you attach the plates assigned to you by DPS....I did receive two plates and will gladly attach them both to the rear. It did not specify that one must be mounted in the front. I have no intentions of mounting a front plate as they can see the big *** stickers in the windshield.

I ended up using zip ties and centered it on the grill. Doesn't look bad, it's just hard to justify spending 100+ dollars on a no drill mount kit.

What kit??... The stillen?

No it was some of the other ones hidetheplate and a couple other ones. I know the stillen is in the 75$ Range but I can't seem to justify spending that much for something so simple lol I could make something, but the 2$ in zip ties are doing the job for now

Aaahhh the hideaway plate requires drilling, except it's under the bumper vs. on the front of the bumper
