Any problems with officers? :accepted:

Where can we get that?

[fliptuner]

not legal

[swfk]

I think you're better off not running a front plate than replicating one

[LP700-4]

Attracts more attention than if you didnt have one at all. Cop made friend rip it off on the spot + ticket aswell :lawl:

[asian_XL]

You should photocopy your driver license and show it in roadblock, it would be epic

[Euro7r]

What I don't get is why ppl don't like holes drilled into their bumpers for front plates, but people are okay drilling holes, say for a front lip lol.

[XplicitLuder]

i think what ppl dont like is the front plate itself, how big and ugly it is blocking the full view of the bumper

How about ear piercing vs a eyelid piercing

[Hehe]

It's actually not a problem if it's certified. (you can get it done at ICBC)

I have a friend who forgets his wallet way too often simply made a certified copy to leave it on his car permanently; not that he has ever been ticketed, but for a peace of mind.

I don't fucking get it. Constantly people run around in circles to avoid running a front plate in the proper mounting location in a province that requires them, in a country, and continent, and world where most places require them. Just mount your fucking plate for fucks sakes.

Too bad side plates havent really picked up, I think they look much better than putting it right in the center of the car.

Agreed. Supercars in Europe etc all run front plates. If it bugs you that much, put on the towhook or something like that, cars can look good with front plates.

Additionally, I want cars to have a front plate so they can be identified in case of accident, from a distance etc.

iirc, I read somewhere that tow hook plate mounts are still illegal. Plates must be centered on a bumper, so that its visible from both sides. But I don't think cops have ever enforced it in BC.

Only things relating to plate installation in MVA are these:

3.011 Number plates issued for a vehicle[...] must be attached

(a) one plate to the front and one plate to the rear of the vehicle, if 2 number plates are issued for a vehicle, and
(b) to the rear of the vehicle, if a single number plate is issued for a vehicle.

3.02 A number plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position to the vehicle for which it is issued.


So as long as it's horizontal. Some legal ambiguity as it doesn't specify maximum allowable angle to horizontal. Towhook mounts usually have it around 10deg angle to the right hand side, so who knows how "horizontal" is interpreted.

[Goltz91]

I've gone through the police roadblock at the Market Crossing meet a while ago with my front plate zip tied onto my mr2 and way off-centered. They didn't seem to care as long as there's a plate. If there was a time or place to get hassled it would've been there haha

Ah I see. What I was told must have been for a different province/state then.

I've been running a tow-hook plate since 2007. It's perfectly legal. Also the kits should come with two sets of bolts -- one for mounting and one for plate alignment so no they are not crooked.

[euromoron]

Sure they look okay, but if you're going to get hassled as much as having no plate you might as well just not even bother. A towhook mount would probably be the best idea if you don't want to drill holes but most of the time those look worse (IMO) than having the plate in the centre.

Thanks for the reply guys! I don't have a problem with my front plate, I just wanted to see if there's another option to display it especially when my new bumper comes. I'll just mount it properly in the middle. :fuckyea:

if an evo x can allow side license plates, your cars can...legally right?

I find plates on the side terribly ugly and gives off an imbalanced look. If anything, it would stand out more than if it was just mounted in the middle.

If I had a Lexus, I wouldn't even think about not having a front plate. IMO, they're the only cars that legitimately look better with a front plate on so their stupid hourglass grill doesn't look ridiculous.

Who the fuck gets their eyelid pierced? Or do you mean eyebrow?

That actually looks worse since that big crash bar cover is the perfect place to mount it.

[- kT]

on turbo cars a lot of people do it so it doesn't block off the top half of the intercooler as well (assuming it's a front mount). to each their own, I prefer the plate centered too but if it's that versus not having to put 2 holes into the centre of your bumper, I think the choice is obvious

Hoooold up, so you are telling me you do not like side mounted plates?????

Have you Seen the Evo? Have you seen the Bugatti Veyron? Have you seen an Alfa Romeo 4C or other Alfas.

These are awesome cars that can't actually pull off a centered plate because they need the opening for air intake.

No I'm not, because that's not what I said you dunce. In that picture there's a huge flat bar going across the front, so moving the plate the plate to make the ugliest part of the car more visible is a bit daft.

So I can't do this then? :lawl:

lol, yes let me just put a license plate over my modified 400hp car because who needs air into the radiator. All that matters is that it looks good right?

I've seen others say the exact same thing. You think the cop can't go look at it and see the little motor and shit?

If you crouch down it is literally obvious the plate is on a motorized hinge.

So you will likely get an even worse ticket then just not having it...

Do yourself a favour get an RHO plate mount bracket, and take it off for show's or when taking pictures. Or else enjoy the VI's and possible harassment that comes with not running a plate.

If your plate covering slightly more area than your bumper already does causes you heating problems, I'm sorry but your car is pretty shitty.

First time I've seen someone put in so much effort for a small forum disagreement :badpokerface:

Anyways, I think the e92 in the first post would probably be better off with a tow hook mount.. doesn't really block much of anything and would probably look a bit better than that sticker. The sticker plate looks cheap on that car while everything else looks expensive..
