He said he stopped me because, "You just looked like you were going fast" Hmmm......"looked like"? Not this time, sir.
Unfortunately for me as an ex ski racer, i love to go fast. Especially in the curves. And as I am finding out this is the machine to curve in.
In reply to some of the comments and questions:
I found the site through a google search.
The holes in the front bumber will unfortunately be where the license plate goes when it arrives.
swede matt- I hear you. all the same.
I have checked out the photos of all of your cars and am so pleased to be amongst this group. What gorgeous vehicles!

PJunkie - I'm NY down on LI and have gone without the front plate since last August -when I bought the car. Been pulled over three times for it - still no ticket - I keep the plate on the passenger side and when pulled over I explain that the bracket broke and I had to order a new one from the delaer - but here's the plate.
Only problem is that one officer in the local precinct - the first to stop me - recently spotted me in a parking lot and mentioned out his window that he "noticed that my front plate wasn't on yet -didn't you tell me you were putting it on about 6 months ago " !!
My days are probably numbered but I just can't bring myself to put it on !
In no way do I endorse or suggest anything to anyone - just a off the cuff comment or 2.

I'm probably going to jinx myself for posting this but since I'm a brave man I'll do it anyway....
I've never had a front plate on my Z3...and I've had it as a daily driver for many years. I've never even gotten stoped for it. Got pulled over for other stuff twice but the cops didn't even mention the missing front plate. Maybe California is more lenient with enforcing front plate laws?
