Front license plate tag
While waiting on my M4,going thru member's M4 Picture, most of what I have seen so far does not have front license plate drilled on the bumper...
Virginia requires both front and back and Im kinda curious as how you guys are handling it.. Personally, i don't mind drilling license plate in the front, but does it look bad or kills appearance ? Any suggestions ? |

i couldn't bear the thought of vandalizing the front bumper just to satisfy some lame front plate law.
i used an US Millworks front tow hook plate mount. it's pretty solid. it does require some careful finagling for it to not interfere with the front parking sensors. some folks don't like the asymmetry of the tow hook plate, but it doesn't bother me. And, if VA ever does away with the front plate law, my car will remain pristine.

I was wondering if cops have their eyes open wide for no front license plate, especially on sports cars ? was considering to take chances if penalty isn't too steep |

since my car is YMB, i just didn't care for the hassle. that's one less reason for a cop to want to pull me over.

I only really have issues with the DC parking assholes. I have MD tags, and no front plate, and every time I'm in the city, they write me a ticket. I always dispute them though.

Knock on wood I haven't had an issue yet. BUT.......On my old e92 I was at a gas station and a Fairfax Count cop walked up to me and noticed my lack of a front plate. He threatened to tow my car because it wasn't compliant and couldn't pass inspection. After some begging, pleading, and lying about my plate brackets not fitting properly, he let me go with a warning....That being said, I still haven't put a front plate on and don't intend too unless I absolutely have to.(again, knock on wood, carbon fiber, etc...)

Parking patrol is usually the enforcer of this non moving infraction, for an officer to actually pull you over for this is just basic fishing & harassment!

For me, no dice on drilling! Been around since last Nov now and my locals seem not to care, on the highway I guess I just go to fast for them to see. Drill, no way!
