Front License Plate Dilemma

nyy13lal24dal9 · 10-01-2015, 03:46 PM

I live in NY Ive been driving without the front for 2 years never got caught. Got my M6 in March and only recently Ive been caught and ticketed twice. Fines are over $500 now. I can fathom putting the front plate on it destroys the look of the car. But I can't keep getting the tickets any solutions?

I've got this - http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-18...ran-coupe.aspx Which I think is the best looking approach to a front plate that I've seen. However, so far I've been lucky and haven't actually put it on

I live in this expensive $h!Thole we call NY too. They are a pain in the ass with the front plate, just another way to extort us after we already pay an absurd amount of taxes...I digress. So heres what I did.

Get a piece of sheetmetal that is thick enough to handle the plate (use your discretion) Bend 90 degree, drill two holes, get 2 self taping screws, use foam insulation or other items that would stop damage from rubbing on your bumper.

I have this one on now. Usually don't have it on but one day this past summer I just put it on and left it on. I can take a pic tomorrow and post it if you wish. It's not bad but I also like the option to take it off as well.

The hide the plate is really cool. I'm getting one. Thanks Zack!

No prob! That's what I'd get if I lived in a state that required a front plate. Front plates are horrible and ruin the front of the car but this is a great solution and very James Bond'ish too
