WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

bye bye front license plate bracket FINNALY

 

Halfway there...

Sounds like someone was actually listening....

 

Thank god!

 

As did i, but ill happily comply with the new law as well

 

Why do I think this is a Hose job?

You have a link to a site that says this?

 

November 1st my front plate will be coming off.

 

argh.. And i just mounted mine on my front air dam after getting a warning after pulling out from Ennis a few weeks ago.

Ah well.. Good news!

 

AW, try this link

then type, 'hb3540'
then look for the text of the 'engrossed' bill
scroll to article 9

 

Thank God!! I have gotten 2 no front license plate citations( 1 in each car). Then i got the bracket and i think it makes the front look like crap. YAY i get to take that crap off.

 

This will make the intercooler install alot easier. I already planned to leave it off anyway, but now I'll be legal.

 

I dont have a front license plate, and I havnt gotten stopped or anything. Its been like 4 months.

 

Thats cool, but I still dont run one. First thing that came off when I bought the Camaro. Got one ticket for it, but I was already getting one for speedng. It was also the first thing to come of the GTP. I've got one warning for it.

 

holy sheet that's good news! I hate driving my car around with no front license plate and always knowing the cops have a reason to pull me over if they want to be jerks. I hate even more the way a vette looks with a plate on the front so I just choose the first option and hope for the best. FTP!!!

 

sbout time, now if we can get the stickers back on the plate like it used to be to have a clean windshield.
