Hot damn! I love the Johny Law series You got a great collection Greg.

The other day I finally removed the front plate on my blue S2k and it looks a lot better IMO. Except for that darn condenser thingy. Must paint it out.

j-s2k, the front license plate bill is HB 535 first introduced in the 1999 session. For more information go to:

Thanks!

 

I saw a neat modification of the front plate which arguably complies with the law and also looks good.

The owner bent the top and bottom of the plate so that only the numbers and letters were visible...it looked like a European plate...and then he mounted it in the middle on the bottom of the bumper.

It actually looks good and doesn't ruin the lines like the normal set up does.

 

My friend has a 95 Viper RT/10 and has his plate attached to the front windshield with 2 suction cups... it works well because the RT/10 has a fairly upright windshield, just like the S2000.

I dont run my front plate, but here in Oregon I cant go a day without seeing some foolish and blatant breach of the law... cars with clear turnsignals, smoked LP covers, etc.

I mean its one thing to have NO front plate. ALL states require atleast a back one. And if the rear plate is obscured, whats wrong with my running a clean rear plate and NO front plate.

The only thing is that they cant nab you with photoradar easily...

As far as I am concerned, a vehicle like a Lincoln Navigator (saw this the other day) that was black and had both his front and rear plate under smoked covers...

How is this ANY worse than my not having a front plate? I pulled up behind him and could hardly read his plate.

I just figure that if a cop has nothing better to do than stop me for no front plate, fine. I'll tell him I bought the car used (I did) and there was no front plate.

 

Just received a letter back from State Rep in District 64. She stated that the bill was introduced in the 76th legislative session and was killed. There is no similar bill in front of the 77th legislative session (this years session)

 

mns2k,

Bummer! Thanks for the update. Maybe if enough people contacted our State Reps they could bring it back to life

I'm sure this is something, even the Miata, Corvette, etc.. clubs would sign up for. Maybe I sould find all the sportcar boards and post a request to organize a signature drive!

 

Maybe instead you could lobby for smaller front plates like we've got in Aus.

The front plate is only 83mm high as opposed to the rear which is 110mm.

 

Running without front plate. No plans to install it. Don't want it/don't need it. So UGLY!!!!!
