is there a place that sells a device that makes mounting the front plate easy to put on and remove? i just got a ticket so i need something asap

 

Bump this. Any tow hook mount front plate holders for Evo IX?

 

zip tie it to the front screen where your intercooler is for a fix it inspection, then take it back off.

 

NYPD tickets parked cars without front plates and pulls over people headed in and out of tunnels without them too. Need a more long term solution.

 

put it in the front window? thats what i did, but i live in a little town haha

 

nevermind just saw the date on the post haha

 

Still looking for a long term solution. In the window is an "improper display" violation.

Something like that is going to be your best option.

 

If you look up your state law, and it just says "front of vehicle" it will also say something along the lines of must be kept clean and free of snow derbis and mud bla bla bla. With that being the case, the front windshield is technically the front of the vehicle. I have had fix it tickets many times, and I keep a print out in my car of what the state law is, They can't argue. If its not specific, you can win, I have 4 times now in court. Plus, call the dmv, court house, local police, and state police, and compare answers they give you. They all might say somethign different, like in my case.

 

Have you ever thought about using some high strength magnets?

Install some magnets on the inside of your bumper (using epoxy or high strength adhesive).

Then I would line the back of your plate with some soft material (felt, thin rubber, foam, etc). That will help prevent the plate from scratching your paint.

 

^that would work if its a ferrous metal, but I know my state's are aluminum

 

Very strong two-faced tape. I have some guys in my club with Evo IX's & X's and it works in the rain and snow!

 

Yea, forgot about that. You could head to home depot and pick up a piece of 1/32 - 1/16" thick sheet metal and either screw them together or epoxy.

 

That'll work too. the 3M exterior mounting tape is strong stuff.

 

just buy the hide away license plate holder....
