http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewto...=11617&start=0 I too like the center mounting position but don't care for the exposed brackets. I went with the Gominigo off-center tow hook bracket which is easily removed and replaced with the towing eye for track use. Here is a Canadian alternative to the Gominigo: http://www.rhoplate.com/

Anyone know if it's illegal to shape your license plate. Ideally, if I could bend the top and bottom, only exposing the characters, it could be less of an eyesore....
Oh, btw, I got a ticket for this today...while speeding...in a construction zone...on July 4th weekend...drunk. Ok, I wasn't drunk and there were just barrels, no people so don't freak out. just trying to be funny. |

I won't install a front plate. I consider the tickets I might get, the cost of doing buisness.

Well that probably isn't legal either. It's all about being caught I suppose. How many Corvettes do you know of that have been pulled over for no front plate?

I think you guys are getting off relatively easily in WA for not having the front plate. At least you get the fix-it option. I moved back to Vancouver, B.C. a few months ago, and kept getting pulled over left and right for no-front-plate. The first 3 times (and that's 3 times in 3 months), my car still had WA plates so they weren't able to do anything about it since it was out of their jurisdiction. Then I got my BC plates and got pulled over again. $128 and NO fix-it option. It's $128 a pop every time they catch it. Decided it wasn't worth it and bought the RHO bracket and put the front plate on. When I was living in Bellevue, I never got pulled over for NFP - not a single time.
Didn't care for the RHO bracket much at first, but I've tried a few mounting positions and think I've finally found one that looks best on the car. I do need to re-tighten one mounting bolt once every 2~3 weeks or so though.

Having lived in Vancouver, you become used to it. As Shuksan said... just consider it the cost of ownership. I always run tint and no front place and budget $500/yr towards this type of thing.
The cops in Van are notorious for tint and no-front-plate violations. The ticket is always given, but they usually don't make you report that it's been put back on. Things become a double-whammy pain in the a$$ when you have to show the work done at a Police Station. Now that I'm in Seattle with WA plates, the cops leave me alone when I'm back in Van too. |

Its just an easy income for the city/state, regardless if its written down somewhere stating you must have 2 plates on (law). |

You supposedly can get an endorsment from the State Patrol. But you need to apply for it and there is a list of the cars that are approved. It's hard to get. Wankers....
