Front Plate

I hate front plates on cars. The evo is the worst. This is my fix. Has any one done the same. I have been driveing this car for over a year like this and haven't had a problem yet. I did a quick chop on my numbers, so it looks better and can see more of it in person.

Wait can any one post it for me if i send it to them?

Told my dealer I'd do his kneecaps if he installed it in the first place.

Maybe in your state, but not mine. Ours just has to be attached somewhere on the front of the car. Mine is attached to the windshield, not just sitting on the dash. I had to do it after it fell off the front bracket 3 times.

That's funny. I thought the windshield was near the middle of the car, not the front. I guess the cops in your state don't know what front, middle rear of the car are.

Huh? The "front" windshield is in the "front" of the car. The plate is forward facing and attached. The law does not specify how far towards the front. The windshield is definitely not in the middle of the car. The back of my driver's seat is the middle of the car while the windshield is maybe between that point and front bumper. Close enough to the front to not get hassled.
