I did at first until I got a ticket for it along w/ my tinted front windows 2 months ago.

Court date is in a few weeks so I'm gonna wait and see if I can get it change to a fix it ticket, which mean cheaper, and I'll see from there. Currently, the F%$^(*g cop wrote me up and the court charged me $290 for it. :mad:

PROUD PROUD member of the FPOG yo!! (Front Plate Owners Group).

I was at an S2K meet over a year ago and I was 1 of 2 folks with front plates and everyone clowned me. There were 18 of us. They didn't know how "witty" I was and I came out with the FPOG group right there and shut them up. Now everyone wants to be part of my club. Recently 32 of us went canyon carving on the 4th of July and over half of them got pulled over with warnings for various moving violations; the primary offense that started it all? You guessed it. No front plates! OWNED BEYTCHES!!!

License & Registration please....................

When I purchased my car, I had to sign a"waiver" informing me that front plates are required by law, but I chose NOT to have the license bracket installed

I had my CA license plates put on today. . Not only do I HATE dang front plates, but as you can probably tell from my signature - I'm rather fond of the ED plate. It reminds me of Italy and my vacation every time I look at it.

So.... I was thinking about getting a personal plate with my ED number on it and then reattaching the ED on the front. At least the plates would match... There is nothing in the above legislature that mandates that you have to use the CA plates..

Right?

well.....the california vehicle code says that whenever "2" plates are issued to a vehicle, that they must be attached. I think u are better off not even flying with the front, that putting something out of place on there to attract attention.
