Those of us who live where front plates are not required "Feel Your Pain!!!"
Honestly, we really do.

No, do not use velcro. You'd loose the plate in no time. Besides, when you removed the plate you'd still have the velcro looking at you... a no win situation.

You don't indicate from which state you bought the car or the one where you live. If you bought the car in a state that requires front plates (ouch!!!) then the dealer is required to install the mounting hardware as part of the vehicle prep.

Somewhere else in the forum this subject was discussed. If I remember correctly some folks that live in a state that requires front plates took the attitude, "the hell with it". It's only a minor fix-it ticket if they did get stopped. Some also said they drove around like that for years and have never been bothered.

Another idea... :wink: :wink: :wink: Get in touch with a tree hugger wacko group near you and ask them to take up the issue. Surely they can make a case that your state government is wasting natural resources making extra plates, harming the enviroment from needless paint fumes required to paint them or the midget pygmy spotted roach is in danger where ever that material to make the plate itself comes from.... Just a thought.

Good luck.

Oh, just to let you know how I really do feel your pain... I am retired from the US Air Force. In order to drive a vehicle on base you have to register the car with them. In turn you will be given not one, but "3" goofy looking decals to be placed on the lower left corner of the windshield. Trust me, it looks crappy. When going out to the base I go through the hassle of stopping to get a temporary day pass rather than put the stickers anywhere on my Crossfire... I will admitt ops: my other two cars do have the stickers... :evil: :evil: :evil:
