So this looks like shit, and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it. (Also, yes I know the plate is janky, just a junk plate from work to show it until I get it registered for real). More after the jump. Fuck you and your mandatory front plate laws, New Hampshire. Live Free or Die unless it's a license plate.

Too low.

Plate sticks out.

Slider sticks out.

Whole assembly looks kinda weird tucked up under.

I knew all this was possible when I ordered it, but now I'm !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Anyone with a FoST that lives in a 2 plate state, just do this.

Just leave it off. I can't imagine you'd be pulled over just for missing the plate, and if you did get ticketed for it its not like they'll impound the car

I know a lot of people who've been ticketed for it before. Don't wanna pay it.

Works a lot better on bumpers that don't have those wing type things. Like Mustangs.

Did you nail the plate to the bumper?

I'd just ziptie the plate on because I'm lazy.

Can you put it on the dash or something?

NY is like that, I hate front plates. Why do we need two?

To make sure they match! #logic

First new car ever, trying to be good.

Actually first car from this millennium.

Here in NY cops pull up behind us when pulled over, not in front. That's why I've always wondered. It's funny because Corvettes rarely have them. Which is nice.

Fair enough. The zipties would make it easily removable though.

I more meant they'll whip around if they see something wrong with your plate. BANG A U-EY.

If you follow the link at the end of the article, that's what this new plan does.

I was going to suggest leaving it off too since wisconsin has that stupid front plate law too, but i just ignore it, never been pulled over...knock on wood

Put it on the bumper in the grill

You have no idea how strictly they enforce this law in all of the states it's used...

Wow that quick snap off option is fucking awesome. I wish they had that for my car before I got mine...

Just carry it and the bracket with you in a bag with your name on it and tell whoever pulls you over that you have it right here in your glove compartment and were going to get it put on later that day.

Seriously, I've been driving around without one for 7 months and not a single stop. And I've been through 2 police check points and have stopped to ask police for directions. As long as you aren't driving like a moron they likely won't stop you. Same goes for tints.

You've seen my car, it has no plate no NY cops have said anything to me, 7 months strong.

That's a shame. I refuse to have a front plate

The actual bumper that's in the middle, where the grill is blocked off.

That's where it's going now, with a quick disconnect, just don't like it there.

I mean, the only reason the dealer didn't drill into it was because I work at the dealership and had it custom ordered so I kidnapped it before they could.

No you fool. The ones the dealer put in to mount the plate.

Yeah illinois had that same law. After I ripped the front bracket off the lip of my dakota climbing a hill I just kept it in the front window and never had an issue

I know they make kits for the lotus that brings the page from hiding to visible, transporter style. A bit of ingenuity and it's possible here too
