Default GT3 "El Natural"

Well time to disobey the front license plate laws in NYS. Think I will sport the plate on the dash and see if I can get away with it. Car looks too good w/o the plate...Wouldn't you agree???

I agree- been running without a front plate on several on my vehicles for years. The Porsches and the Mini especially look better without! I get a ticket about once a year, usually from a state trooper- the local guys usually don't care as much (Now watch, I'll get stopped today by a local cop...

Gee, I don't know. It looks like any other seal gray GT3 with Kinesis wheels BTW, south of the border here, we don't have to worry about any of that front plate crap.

One last thing, where was that picture taken with you & a group of cars? Looked like somewhere up the Hudson River.

i'm taking another approach. i am having mylar reproductions of the state plate made to be placed on the front only. i reduced the width of the 'plate' so that it will fit between the two dimples on the front bumper. we'll see.

My guess is that reproducing a license plate is highly illegal - along the lines of counterfeit... Might want to check it out.

NOW HERE'S AN IDEA! Take an old plate & break off the two top mounting holes & screw them to the car. They would hardly be noticeable, and you can feign ignorance...It must have cracked & fell off somewhere! Should get you off without a ticket...until you run into the same cop again.

That was at the rainy Bannerman/Hooters meet on 4/4/04. There were 50 Porsches that showed up in the rain. That pic is from Palisades State Park picnic area in Englewood, NJ...just north of the GWB...

I thought that I recognized that view. My cousin got married at a place just off the Palisades Pkwy right on the Hudson.
