[REDSC400]

My vote and actions are with the vast majority.... we just do not display the front plate. If you are nervous about this, keep it in the trunk with some visage of a "broken" hanger to use as an excuse. Frankly, I have driven about 11 years now with 3 cars in the family, each of them having no front marker (as their lines look better without the marker). None of us have had one single incident with those single rear plated cars to date.

Many of the original Cobras had an ingenious flat spring loaded area in the lower center front hoop bumper. The marker was attached to that. The gizmo allows the wind resistance of the marker to push the marker backwards and lay flat at speed. When you slow down, the spring makes the marker stand back up erect.

Unless, your car was supplied with one of those devices, I would NEVER go to that length for tag afixing, personally. Just leave it off. Virtually all police officers I have run into are thrilled with the Cobra, and have shown both interest and respect for the time and effort and appearance of the car. Couple that with the fact that I look the "mature" role and you get a pass every time. However, if you do crazy stuff with the car on city streets, or you look like a punk, I would think, all bets are off. Perception has alot to do with things.

My vote is to stow the front tag.
