I like starting these discussions and hearing from all of you! What do you feel about front license plate laws? Do they even have them in your state? I've heard of people having to drill into a nice new body kit, which I'm sure happens all the time. Here in NE, the law is (I think) you don't have to have a front license if there isn't a place to mount one. They detract the look from some beautiful cars!

I dunno that its worth it to me...might be cheaper to get the hideawat bracket or break the law. I dont follow stupid laws...lol. Except my car already had a bracket so I installed one.

Why risk it? It's just $49 for the undermount, less than just 1 ticket.
I had a buddy who risked it, got pulled over and got tickets for no front plate, tinted windows and tinted tail lights.
A lot of people who don't have a front plate usually have something else not "legal" on the car.

As far as the retracting liscence plate:
Officer: Sir, I'm going to right you a ticket for no front plate
You: I don't know what you are talking about. I have a front plate **pushes button**
Officer:Hmm, I could have sworn you didn't have one...

Not only is it the fact that people don't want to drill into the from of the car, but it doesn't look as clean.

In addition, it folds down and slides under the bumper so the plate is hidden for car shows.

No I said in addition to people not wanting to drill is people not wanting an ugly plate on the front of their car. Sure you could fold it down when you go to a show but what if you just want your car to look better out in public? If yOu fold it down out in public, you might as well not have one. But if you aren't willing to risk getting a ticket, then the bracket would be great.

Here in the People's Republic of California they add on administrative fees that can more than double the actual ticket fees.
