Licence Plates Just curious how you guys are mounting up your licence plates...I need to have my front end repainted this week so I am going plateless at the front after it's done until I can figure out where I am going to put it. I have the front mount bracket right now, but I hate it...tends to scratch the nose of the car with the vibrations...
So lets see some pics of how you guys are mounting em up...and for those of you with the plates in the windows, have you guys recieved any tickets? Right now I have kind of suction cupped the plate to the bottom of the window but in the middle...doesnt appear to be obstructed as it sits...atleast that is my arguement anyways...

Having it on the dash or inside the windshield isn't acceptable. At best you'll get a warning, worst case a ticket.
There are some hideaway mounting options for when the car is parked (shows, etc) but it still has to be visible while the car is being driven.

i dunno...law says it has to be mounted in a conspicious area in the front and rear the vehicle...doesnt say anything about the bumper...I think I might just order a grill and zip tie it to that...not sure how thats gunna look though...

i've seen people mount them on the air deflector underneath. what i do is have the license plate on and then cover it with the bird frontplate so that ifa cop pulls me over i'll say i came from a carshow and forgot to pop it out.

well this is what the car looks like at the moment with no front plates...I've been pretty lucky so far (knock on wood)
and yea, I through a couple pictures in of the rear fill ins that I just put in...I think it came out pretty good...

Put a clamp on the front of the actuator to adhere to the lic.plate frame and when you hit the power button the actuator (piston) pushes out and pushes the lic plate down. Then press the button again and the lic plate flips back up (as the actuator retracts) !!!!!

This looks pretty cool.

I always thought of adding a the plate on a hinge with a little lock. Then press a button and it unlocks and dangles free. So if a cop pulled you over, you could say that it was just dangling and he couldn't see it as the wind blew it up. Once stopped on the side of the road... it'll dangle freely.
Then, when he leaves... just rehook it up into place.

i tried the license plate behind the windshield thing. lasted about 2 days before i got pulled over and got a 150$ ? ticket. but if you fix it and show it to the judge they withdraw the ticket.
