Guess iam going to leave mine on, no point in putting an effort to take them of, then getting a ticket.
If i would have one on i probably would have left it like that.
Thanks for the Info. fellas.

No front plate used to be a $2500 fine many years ago. I think now it's just a standard ticket. Last ticket I got - about 3 weeks ago - had a spot on the back that said no front license plate, $180.

Yes, I was speeding in a Plymouth Breeze. You can call BS all you want. I got a ticket doing 73 (slowed down from 80 before I got caught) in a 55 in Wichita Falls. And I got a ticket for 50 in a 40 in Schertz. I personally have managed to get the Breeze up to 105 mph and my wife hit 110 once. If you don't think you can't get a speeding ticket in a Breeze, then you don't know what you're talking about or you just can't drive.

Oh yeah, 80 in a 65 in Cairo, Illinois

I had a '96 Neon a few years back and the fastest it would go with the a/c on was 114 mph, but fortunately was never caught doing so...

Anyway I am attaching a picture that was taken back in 1996 one day when my buddy and I were at a local dealership to pickup 2 GTS's that had just come in and what to our disgust did we find on these beautiful machines... some dumbass had installed the front license plate brackets on them without even asking us. We were totally pissed! Needless to say they have never done that to us again since then.

we have front plates on our ram, but we didnt have them on the monte carlo we traded for the ram. MOST cops probably wont bother you about it unless you have something major that makes them pull you over, then they might mention it. My dad was caught speeding many a time in the monte carlo, but cops never bothered him on the missing front plate. We even had the bracketry and plate for the front end in the trunk incase they did ask.

In the camaro, we have a removable face head unit and a speaker box that takes up the entire cargo compartment behind the back seeats (dual 12's). Plain as day to see. Most that has been stolen off it are the hubcaps.
