I like your creative solution to the problem... WC Fields was once asked if he ever read the bible.
His answere , "only for loopholes"

When I'd get pulled over, I'd explain that my front plate got "damaged" in an accident. I'd show the cop the letter and the plate -- which I kept under the carpet in the front boot.

An elaborate "method" to be certain, but 100% effective in Los Angeles.

I'll be moving to CA this year and will certainly keep this method in mind!

I can't access this link for some reason. I get something about my lack of forum privileges. Would someone be kind enough to send me this somehow? If not here, my email is MichaelDanteP@yahoo.com

Thank you!

If you're serious... I'd do some deep research on your state's insurance laws before registering your car out of state. My buddy here in NY had his Audi registered at his parents home in MD (where he grew up) bc it was cheaper. Long story short, last year he was sued in an accident and insurance summarily dismissed coverage on the basis that in NY, the law is very clear that you have to be registered here if you live here.

On the front plates in general, I understand the hesitation to spoil the clean look (and drilling holes) but around here, cops are just itching to pull over sports cars. (Just last month my dad was ticketed in my car for changing lanes on Broadway without a turn signal... which is the automotive equivalent of jaywalking!!) I say save those police encounters, and DMV points, for juicier moving violations than that!
