If so I would have been notified by the MTO by now. Only changes I’m aware of are the plan to stop selling stickers, it’s moving electronic, but still at $120.

Great!!

I've run plateless since 2005 on 5 different 911's and +70,000 kms of driving with only one ticket in13 years.

And I just ordered a Carbonio plate mount the other day..... The irony!!

I don't know, there is no supplier info on the boxes.

The last memo I received on the possible sticker cancelling was several months ago. It is possible that they have changed plans and switched gears to killing the front plate. Our government moves in zip zags. LOL

People don't want a front plate and then stick things like transponders in their windshield.

If they get rid of the front plate will we drive around with holes in our bumpers?

If they actually get rid of front plates I will call Pfaff body shop and ask how much to fill and paint.

+1 on bumper plugs. Haven't used but seen many a happy post about them. They can also give you a plug for your door keyhole.

If you get a sticker made, it need to be retroreflective like the metal plates or else you can get a ticket.

I wouldn't bet any cop would give a crap about what type of sticker it is.

Sticker plates aren't allowed anymore, they revised the HTA a number of years ago, the original numbered plate is the only thing that can be used. this guy kept on getting tickets for his sticker plate (which was easy to pick out obviously)
