After about 2 years of ownership I finally know what the front of my s2000 looks like. I dared to remove the front license plate and plate holder. It's damn beautiful! The problem....

I live in Califor-Japanese sportscars beware-nia.

I don't think Sacramento is as strict as like the bay area or LA because at the last 2 meets I was the only owner with a front plate on my s2. I hope I don't get a GD fixit ticket. I guess we'll see.

Have you Bay Area guys and girls had problems with this? I go to San Fran quite a bit and wonder if this will be a problem?

 

This is what mine looks like:

 

Do you ever get crap from cops down there in Fresno?

 

If you will go to the Bay Area forum, you will see that indeed, people in the Bay Area do have problems with "no front plate" fix-it tickets. The reason is that many Bay Area cities have (or will) installed red-light running cameras and therefore the local police are cracking down on cars without front plates.

SF is especially bad because they have a lot of cameras installed.

 

socal get the same no-front-plate crap here.
(especially west LA)

i have the front plate on ...

 

Just make sure they dont see the front of your car

 

Actually, for me, the Fresno cops aren't too bad. I've been pulled over once in the S2k, but that was a Clovis cop. He could have easily wrote me up for speeding, but he let me go. Fresno police don't seem to worry about the front license plate deal - well, not yet anyway.

On the otherhand....

Plateless:

 

I'm taking the s to LA this weekend, I hope I don't get busted with my naked front. It just looks so much better though!
