check out my new removable license plate bracket. Perfect for those slow cruising nights (on states where front plates are required) and easy removal for those super fast get aways against V8s and such.

 

Lol...

That's a nice easy on easy off set-up.

I'm glad Pa doesn't require front mount plate.

 

Cruising or racing, in front of the intercooler is not the way to go

 

^no airflow over the intercooler is needed if you are not boosting...

+up to a $200 ticket here in TX.

 

jesus, $200? its like $50 over in NJ and even that pisses me off.

 

Nice..you should do some data logs just to see if anything changes while cruising.

How did you mount it? I'm using the Beatrush mount and didn't have to drill any holes..just takes a little longer to remove though...1 bolt and 1 ziptie.

I gave in after the 9th time being pulled over for no front plate here in Texas

 

i'm in el paso tx... my last no front plate conviction was only 25 dollars and 10 for court fees...

 

^thats because it was dismissed.

I go to a lot of "meetings" and the cops start to pull over cars without plates to give tickets and do searches. I have nothing to hide, but dont want the no plate ticket if I can manage.

Regarding the block, I understand. I imagine, I wont be doing runs with it on front in order not to block needed airflow. But in my other car, I didnt notice any difference.

This set up uses a clip and removes without tools and no drilling.

 

since when does CONVICTION... mean dismissed...

 

That's cool. Prev owner had the plate ziptied in front of the fmic.

I ziptied the factory plate bracket to the driver side air duct.

So you didnt fix it before heading to court and just paid a total of $35. Thats cheap.

 

may not look the best but i live in tx and have gotten two tickets now for no front plate...

 

I've only got warned about my front plate pnce in the last 2 and a half years. I got warned when the uhp trooper was dissecting my car and finding everything he could possibly find he didn't like about my car to write me up on.

I like that you don't need tools to remove it but I don't like the idea of blocking the air flow.
