Front License Plate?

[0103SVT]

I will not put a front plate on my Cobra. Just can't bring myself to get holes drilled in a perfectly bad ass looking car. Besides, it doesn't get driven enough to worry about it.

 

[0103SVT]

I'm not possitive but I believe this got shot down. I can't find where I saw it anymore though.

For those of you in Texas.....New laws coming. Don't drill holes

ARTICLE 9. REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF LICENSE PLATES ISSUED
SECTION 9.01. Subchapter A, Chapter 502, Transportation
Code, is amended by adding Section 502.010 to read as follows:
Sec. 502.010. ISSUANCE AND DISPLAY OF LICENSE PLATE. (a)
Notwithstanding anything in this code to the contrary, including
Section 502.180, the department shall issue only one license plate
for attachment at the rear of the vehicle for which the plate is
issued.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this code to the contrary,
including Section 502.404(a), a person is entitled to operate on a
public highway a vehicle that displays only one license plate if the
plate is attached at the rear of the vehicle. A person may operate
on a public highway a vehicle that displays two license plates if
both plates were assigned by the department for the registration
period as a set of plates.
(c) In any provision of this code that relates to the
issuance or display of "license plates," "plates," or a "set of
plates," the term means only one license plate.
SECTION 9.02. The change in law made by this article
regarding the issuance of license plates by the Texas Department of
Transportation applies only to the issuance of license plates by
the department for a registration period beginning on or after the
effective date of this article. For a registration period that
begins before the effective date of this article, the department
shall issue license plates as required by the law in effect
immediately before the effective date of this article, and the
former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 9.03. This article takes effect September 1, 2005.

Does anybody know if the Texas bill passed or not? I'd be interested in learning for sure which way it turned out.

Got pulled over for it once had the trooper write the infraction down on the registration and I said I don't want to screw up the front of the car with a plate, the trooper then said "nice car" then sent us on our way. The plates were due the next month so we got a new registration with the new plates.

I am NOT drilling any holes that is just gay...

 

[03cobrarocks]

Keep the front plate under your seat or behind the pass seat pocket. Smell a cop..., put it in the front windsheild on the dash.

ND
Just thought I'd let you guys know what state I'm from. I'm honestly not sure of the laws but I've done the "WINDSHIELD" thing many times and never been hassled about it.

I had a front plate on mine as you can see in my sig but took it off.....bad idea now there are 4 huge holes in my bumper :nonono: Anyone know any know of any products or anything to fix the holes aside from getting a new bumper. Thanks.

No front plate in New York, while driving a Cobra vert with an exhuast system is like stopping a cop and asking for a ticket. I hate the plate up front but would rather keep the money for mods!

Visit your local Lowes or Home Depot. They have the plugs you need to fill in your bumper. You might want to get some touch up paint for your car and paint them, they should just "clip" right in.

I put the drill-less bracket on mine yesterday. I don't like having a front plate, but Hawaii is anal about this and it is a $90 fine. I found my bracket here and got it shipped to my house for $38.00.

 

[Lethal SVT97]

I don't have a front plate and still haven't got pulled over, yet. I don't city cops and sheriffs care too much about it. Its the state police that gets you.

I watched oncoming traffic near Placerville, California (east of Sacramento, in the Sierra Nevada) for four miles yesterday and counted 32 cars/trucks with no front license plate. This was the opposite direction from the commute (light traffic direction). I have never seen a corvette with a front license plate in this part of California (except for out of state ones). I really don't think it is enforced very heavily around here. None-the-less, my drill-less front plate bracket (to be placed in the trunk until I need it) is on the way through e-bay.
