Default Hiding the front plate

Hey everyone,

I just passed the 2 year mark on my 03' Silverstone. Today was the second time I got pulled over for not having a front plate on (I do keep it in the trunk and was able to just get a warning). This happened in North Olmstead. Does anyone have any ideas on a good way to display the front plate without taking away from the front end look of the car?

Thanks,

jack

I keep mine under the front seat and pop it in the front window when pulled over. I hear Ohio might be changing the front plate law as in we might not have to have it any longer.

don't plan on that going through anytime soon and even in your front window it's illegal as it is not secured...and if they pull you over for no front plate they will most likely figure it out that you just put it up seriously though, they are pulling people over for just not having it and no other reasons

I sure hope it goes through this time around.

I have been debating whether or not to do the front plate.

Currently, SoundZero and I are the two remaining hold outs.

In 10+ years of driving w/out front plates, I have only been ticketed once.

the ohio no front plate law circulates every year..... and every year, we get screwed.

i am thinking about putting one on the front seat...currently, mine is under the passanger side carpet..hopefully i'll never have to pull it out.

Just play stupid: "Really officer, thank you it must have fell off. I'll order new ones as soon as I can and thanks again." Worked once for me.
