Not that I'm actually contemplating having holes drilled in my front bumper when I take delivery at the end of March, but I was wondering how many Ontario drivers have actually put them on (using the standard method or using the tow hook) to avoid being stopped constantly by law enforcement officials looking for an easy ticket. Almost makes one want to live in Quebec!

Yep, that's my motto too.

or use the I just washed my car in a car wash and needed to take it off so it would be damaged excuse as long as your car is clean...and put it on right there and then in front of the police officer.

I was going to bend a piece of sheet metal in a L. Attach plate and drill two holes. The use self taper into black plastic of the underside of the lip. It can be taken on and off. Should work. I'll post pic once I make it.

No plate on front for me. Just can not look at it. Rather pay ticket but have never been pulled over for no front plate

Like AC SATCO's suggestion though

I've only had one ticket for not having a front plate and that was in 84. I still had the oval euro plate on the car from euro delivery. I had the front plate in the passenger footwell and showed it to the deputy, no go. I even went to court on it and still lost.

Here is a very easy, simple and inexpensive answer to your idea. It can be retracted and displayed at will. I believe you can find an electricity activated one as well:

When I got my Vette in 2003 I got two fix-it tickets within a week in LA. That, however, was the heyday of the camera ticket era, and I have the feeling they were enforcing the front plate rule strictly for that reason. Anyone have recent experience in LA area?

My SA has been instructed to tape a sign on the front bumper: 'Do not drill or attach front plate!'

Keep a tow hook or platypus in the front passenger footwell and tell the officer you just got off the highway and were just about to put it back on. Tell him it flutters at highway speed and could damage your paint.

Hey thanks a lot. I'm considering this. My concern is when I don't have it displayed it seems to hand down at least a 1/4 inch or more. Even with front axle lift it could still scrape

The show and go definitely adds to your scraping potential. I had 1 on my C4S and scraped many times with it.

Unfortunately in Mass a no front plate ticket, while only a couple of bucks, is 2 points on your license and could cost thousands over the course of 7 years it takes to drop off....
