Infamous1 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Front plates FTL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQC049 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I have had no front plate for the year and a half that I have owned my car and I have not been pulled over once (knock on wood). I intend to run one when I finally get my Spec B bumper on the car as the holes are pre-drilled for it. I hate the look of front plates!

Origtopcat Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 By law, you have to have a license plate in the front. Putting the license plate inside the car is illegal It depends where in the state you live in. Florida does not issue front license plates.

1-3-2-4 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I never ran a front plate on my Impreza here in CT and never got stopped... However I always kept it in my trunk in case I got some lip from a cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowBound BP5 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'd rather pay the $10 court processing fee each time than sport the front plate...although the bumper was already drilled when I bought the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Island Legacy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Anyone have any tricks to make the holes look better? I was thinking some kind of plug, painted to match. I dont really want to go the putty/bondo route. somone i work with says there a website that sells bumper plugs for that kind of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTATV Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 have a pickup with no front plate i ripped the bracket off on a snowbank a few years ago and have had 300m since new in 99 till i crashed it in september. no front plate on it ever. one time a year ago a cop pulled me over cause i was leaving a back road where he knew there was a big party he said he pulled me over because i didnt have a front plate but he only gave me a verbal warning. it was just an excuse to see if i was worth bringing in for a DUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agnt86 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 When I bought the car I asked how they put on front plates. My previous car - Jeep - came with the front plate bracket if you bought it in a front plate state. Subaru doesn't do that, they just drill the bumper. So when I ordered the car I added on the "Front License Plate Bracket" option. I think it is the same as this. I'm happy with it, but I'm not picky about front plates either.

phillyflyers50 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 i live in nj and when i got my 06 sedan it didn't come with a front plate bracket either. they wanted to put one on and i said no way lol .. illegal or not front plates ruin the appearance of a car in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firepyro515 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I've purchased 2 new subarus in the past couple years in washington (an 06 outback and an 08 Legacy) and as i recall, both of them came with front license plate mounts, i my be mistaken, but it didn't look like the dealer had to drill the holes in it.

ArcTec34 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 haha. I love it. that and the k40 radar works amazingly well. sometimes the laser picks up LED taillights.. ha. but. actually I got my first speeding ticket the other week.. except it wasnt one of those times when I was actually trying to break the law.. I was the first car in a stream of about 10 commuters... everyone on the road goes about 10 over, the cop had nothing better to do. whatever. if i had thought i was really doing something wrong i would have slowed down when it went off... he was picking up people there for the rest of the night. cheap.

TSiWRX Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 ^ You might want to see if there's anyone in your area that can help you test out the laser jammer portion of this device. It's highly debated as to whether it will work as-advertised. Just because it's alerting to LED tail-lights, etc., doesn't mean that it's jamming properly (and don't get too excited - most high-end laser detectors will false, in some degree, to such tail-lights, and more). As for the radar, the K40 isn't the best, but it's definitely not too, too bad, either. I don't particularly think you've got too much to worry about in this respect. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
