looks simply stunning guys! How does the Techart CGT have a different front because it doesnt have the side markers?
About the plates: why run one if you dont have too? Especially on a beautiful car like a CGT?

sure and it usually works out since most of these cars are not daily driven, or only driven short distances on the weekdays on routes that dont wind through heavily patroled areas. High end pcars and other exotics tend to be driven by responsible folks whom as long as you dont speed or show off recklessly all the time, most cops would probly never even notice you didnt have plates on. Lastly due to the exotic look and pristine detailed condition most of us keep our cars in, they mind as well "appear" as they are just off the showroom floor anyways...my 2c

My thought is, as much as these guys get their cars photographed, why go through the hassle of always removing your plates? Not to mention getting photographed by random people you don't even know when driving through a populated area. The last thing you would want is your plate ID being spread all over the internet.

My friend just sold his supra and the guy picked it up, said I'm not worried about no reg/plates or anything like a big shot, well he got a pleasant surprise trying to go through Midtown Tunnel, they don't play!

German Plates (Euro plates) on US soil? I thought it was illegal, the swedish mafia guy who crashed the Enzo got arrested for doing the same right?
Isn't the owner of that car the german "Prinz" guy who owns a SLR etc...

I know, in NYC they'll give you a ticket for not having your front license plate on. Even when ur car is parked. In westchester cops don't really check for front plates, but in NYC its a whole different story.
