keeping the front plate in the windshield is so stupid. if you arent gonig to run a front plate fine...but dont be a ricer and stick it on your dash. that wont help you get out of a ticket and it looks dumb

A front plate on the dash looks worse than a properly installed front plate, IMO.

Not only that, you don't want a thin strip of metal aimed at your neck if you get into another accident.

If you put it on the dash (illegal), it will catches a cop attention more than if you don't have it at all. Most cops won't notice it if you get pull over from behind.

Also putting it on the dash can be dangerous if say you get into another accident and that things come flying towards your face.

Fudge it ill have the dealership drill the holes and mount the front plate. The dealership ended up drilling the holes, looks good overall no major gap.

Some cops are okay with the plate on the window...that's until you run into those cops who hate modded cars. Just put a tow hook plate on J!
