Front License Plates
How many owners in the Oregon/Washington area run with front plates?
Mine came with a plate holder, but I thought it looked ugly and took it off. Anyone get hassled much for not having the front plate on? |
Supposed to have one in NY too. I didnt put mine on, I keep it in the trunk. Havnt been bothered so far. Most cops are in such awe of the car they dont even notice.
Have a good BS excuse in your back pocket if you get asked about it so you arent saying Um, uh, um.... to the cop. It does ruin the look, I agree. |
8 years on the road and still going plateless.

Here in Washington State, if you get collector plates, DMV only gives you a rear plate. So thats all I run on the Cobra. My F150 Lightning which I purchased new, never had a plate mounted so I have run with no front plate since 2002. I ran 5 years on my SVT Cobra with no front plate also. Have never been stopped yet.

The only time I ever had a problem was in a miata.The cop was aiming a lazer at me @ could'nt get a # back because of the shape of the car.I've never had one on my pickup or cobra & have been in the sights in these.The plates are covered with reflective coating and cops use them as targets.cobras with there big rads & any car or truck with big flat target area will not have much problem.But it is the law. If the guy wants to give you a ticket he can.

I have been using a front plate bracket (stainless) for a couple of years now (front plates are required by law here in NYS). I ran without a front plate for several years, and was never pulled over for the missing plate.
I like the look of mine with the plate (kinda grows on you), and the car stands out when parked with other Cobras.... Jim Kellogg Breesport, NY http://www.greatsportscars.com/images/jpg/DSC03082.jpg |
My front plate folds up in front of radiator and unless I let it down you dont know it is on. Best I can do.
