Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches California Front license plate location

Does anyone know off the top of their head what rules/laws there are about the proper location of a front plate. I still have to put mine on but didn't want to get the bumper holder. I saw a pic posted and someone [don't remember who] had the plate stuck in the lower grill on the SVT bumper, not ideal but better than drilling the bumper. Thanks.

I took mine off and was pulled over not too long ago for "no front plate" I just stuck it on my dash so that no other cops would f*ck with me.

I have mine sitting in my room! Been pulled over for it once, got the ticket signed off and now its in my room again!

i have mine in my front window.

You can still get a ticket for having it in the window (the cop who gave me my no front plate ticket said so)

I heard that suposedly they are cracking down on this and wanted to see what you guys were doing. Does it have to be mounted at bumper height or can it be lower, ie in the front bumpers mesh or hanging under the bumper rather than attached to the face of the bumper (I just think they are so ugly there..).

when I got my ticket signed off I had it wired to the mesh.

so was it a warning type thing and you had to go show'em that you had fixed it?

I have mine in my trunk and was tyring to find a broken front bumper holder and just tell'em it got knocked off parking on the street (i would make sure the plate was showing signs of wear).

its a $10 warning what they call a Fix It ticket. I get em all the time
Officer: your tires are to wide, your windows are tinted wheres your license plate bla bla bla bla bla.

so its not that expensive so i dont run mine cuz I think it looks like CRAP with it on there oh and my bumber is holeless so I cant have one any ways.....

I have the bumper mounted plate holder on my car. I've had to replace it twice. People keep crushing it when they parallel park.
