Front license plate
So I've come to find out, from the mouth of the cop to my colleague that he sits on the road and pulls people over for tint and no front license plate. It bothers him, so that's all he does all day.
The tint we can kind of get around, if you are fast enough. But the license plate, oh man I just can't handle a front license plate. I've never had one on any of my cars, but now with the RC F it would kill it. If I totally had to put one on, I would go for that European style plate. Not sure if cops would consider that okay or not.
Does anybody actually have their front license plate on?
Cheers,

I'd go without. From my research, for California, it's close to a $200 ticket. If you don't want to pay that, you can reduce it to $15 by attaching the plate and going down to a police station and having it signed off.
Some Tesla guys who have received tickets just zip tie the plate, go down to the station, get it signed off, and then promptly remove the plate again.

[QUOTE=jkeifer3;9276552]What's a European style plate? A fake one or something that your state would actually accept. But, to answer your question, yes I have a front plate but chose to attach it to a mount that screws into the tow-bolt hole. It's offset to the side, pretty ugly IMHO, but better than dead center in the grille.[/QUOTE
jk, i'm not sure but isn't the Euro Style plate the one that's about half the width of ours, it looks long & skinny, though i could be Wrong

That's what I was thinking but I'm pretty sure no state (in the US at least) would consider it acceptable.
