:eek: Really? The DMV website doesn't reflect this.

But if it's true, then :banana:

I do some consulting in the new and used car auto industry, and have several contacts that all said the same thing. I did not see it posted on there either, but most of these guys are constantly under DMV scrutiny so I figured they would know best. I do know I was pulled over for no seatbelt.....well no front license plate back in may, and when I told him I didnt have one he said ok no problem...now about that no seatbelt. I will dig a bit deeper to verify that.

Fantastic. I had been wondering again recently. I noticed a few cars the other day with no front plates, and it just popped back in my mind.

Can you find it published in the NRS re: the no front plate? I would love to have proof of that law.

I will see tomorrow where, what publication these guys got their info from.

hella genoa.

Eh? :?:

So any word on the front plates?

ahh. washoe.

Yeah, the pix were taken in Washoe. Do me a favor - going forward, humor me with a full sentence, so I can easily understand what you're getting at. It's nearly 1AM, I've been up since 6AM, and I worked a little over 14 hours today. :P

I have a call in to some people at the DMV, but the person that originally gave me that info said that the dealerships receive some sort of newsletter from DMV and it was in that publication, he is currently looking for it.

+1 for proof. :)

Ok the definative answer here, Quarterly the DMV publishes a newsletter, which is sent to each of the dealers, Apparently the one from October has a "clarification" of the current statute regarding front license plates. I have not seen the issue, but the people that told me of the new law are telling me this is where it was read.

The current law in a nutshell says, all cars must have a front license plate unless there is no place for one from the factory. I am not sure if there was a previous law about this that was different, I was always under the impression that all cars must have a front plate regardless of factory location or not. I do know in the 80s I got 2 $25 tickets for no front license plates. So the 3 people that I talked to at the dealer didn't give me all the details before I opened my big mouth.

I talked to my friend that works at DMV, her answer was that, yes two plates are required unless no factory mounting location is available. She said basically each agency will interpret the law as they see fit, and in most cases you will probably only get a fix it citation, however as with what happened to me in my honda, they wanted to pull me over to check me out, so he used the "no front plate" as an excuse..if your doing something you shouldnt, or they think you are, no front plate just give them the excuse to look at you a bit closer.

My apologies for getting our hopes up. :(

Oh well :cool:

I wonder if I can 'interpret' that by saying my front bumper did not have holes drilled for a plate?

I'm not going to take a chance on leaving it to interpretation. . . :P

I haven't run a front plate since I bought my RS (12/02) and I've never had a problem with the cops. *Keeps fingers crossed*

I think we chatted about this at the meet on thurs for a few minutes, and the general consensus seemed to be, "why give them another reason to stop you?" I figure between my suspension drop, other forthcoming mods such as exhaust, and plates that say, "NOTURBO," I'll be getting eyeballed anyway. :P

Oh yeah, since I finally got my plates replaced, I'll have new pix of the car this evening.

=======EDIT=======
No pix yet. Stupid DST - it was dark by the time I finished washing the car and applying my SECCS decals.

Ok, I snapped a quick shot on my way in to work today. Nothing fancy, but it gets the point across. :P

The updates are: coilovers (and the resulting drop) and the SECCS decals

Updated for new additions and to change some planning details.

New pix, too! :cool:

Those wheels are the shit on a white Impreza! :cool: No offense to Nick, but they look like 10 times better than they did on his red LGT.

It's looking good man, time to clear your headlights though.

And to re-trade your taillights lol.

I thought those looked like 06 tails...not a fan. Car looks good though.

Yeah that is quite a coincidence they look like 06s considering that's what they are. :lol:

Pipe down halfling. I think it's more than fairly obvious that I realize that.
