Default Tired of getting pulled over.....

So after two verbal warnings and one written warning I decided that I'm tired of going through this routine. Anyone else do this or have any other solutions? I might take it off I really hate front plates. Also i trimmed my plate down, the edges are now gone.

Sorry about the front plate...doesn't look bad where you have it. I wonder about air flow though.

But tell me about the coating on your garage floor...

Still no rock chips on your front end huh, looking good.

The plate looks like a good alternative to the bumper mount. Would the plate fit without trimming the edges?

- Ya I read about airflow and the water temps, no one has had any increase in them. Thats why I trimmed it i too for that much more air. Drove to Austin last night and temp did not raise a bar or anything.


- The garage floor is just some grey paint with confetti stuff lol. It came in a package, but we had some people do it for us. I like it, didn't chip like a lot of people thought.


- Man I have quite a bit of chips, I tape up my bumper when i can. But that touch up paint we ordered has been put to great use.


- Ya it fit without trimming. I didn't cut anything or drill anything either, if someone wants to do this ill try and write an explanation with pictures maybe.

I did the same thing on mine.. except that i drilled alot of holes whereas the air can travel through it. Yeah, it's kinda gay to have the front plate on ...but i rather be safe than be sorry. Nowaday i played by the rules, and not that i am worry about the fine but more of time comsumer that i will have to go to court.

i moved to texas about 6 mos ago and have noticed lots of cars with and lots of cars w/o front license plates. what's the deal there? and have cops really given you that big of a hassle for no front plates? i just took the front plates off of my g/f's civic. those are a dime a dozen...so hopefully she won't get pulled over.
