At a complete loss regarding the front plate which is required in CA. Never installed on my '06 but did get a couple of "fix it" tickets. You don't have to fix, they just want the cash. The after market plate holders either interfere with parking sensors or don't look good either. Any advice??
I'm also in California and find that the front license plate adversely detracts from the beauty of the front of the car. As you stated, it's simply a fix-it ticket for not having a front license plate if you encounter an **** officer. I'd only worry about that aftermarket plate holder as a temporary solution for signing off on the fix-it ticket if you end up getting one. Moreover, the fact you're contemplating it means you probably don't want to have a front plate on your new car at all. I'll bet if you counted 100 late model BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Porsches around you, more than half of them probably don't have front plates.

I'm up in the SF suburbs of the East Bay and I've never been pulled over for not having a front plate. Never.
But I hear its a totally different situation when in San Francisco itself.
Congrats on your new car.
Gorgeous!

Los Angeles is not bad at all but Beverly Hills, North Hollywood and Santa Monica PD's will issue plate citations when they are not busy. In fact, even the meter maids can issue plate violations.
On a happier note, I have an appointment for rear window tinting today. I'm also going to meet with a photo studio to photoshop pictures of the car and it's wheel to try to decide how to put powder coat. I'm leaning toward blue spokes with a red pinstripe around the circumference.

Congratulations on the new car, it is gorgeous.
As far as the license plate is concerned, I live in New Jersey, we also have to have a front license plate. I have not mounted mine as yet and do not plan to. I bought a Skene design holder which I carry in the car. If I get pulled over I will tell the officer I plan on doing it when I get home and I will show it to them. Hopefully that will be enough for a warning.

Got the rear window tinted today. Looks good. At the moment, however, I'm at the hospital and just became a Great-Uncle. So, I'll have to post a picture of that later.

No red tachometer here. That comes with the GTS Interior package which I personally did not want. Most of the two tone leather interiors come with contrasting stitching so I have red stitching on the dash and doors. With the leather interior, you can order the gauges and chrono in various colors if you like.
