I live in Orange County CA, and when I bought my Xfire I had my salesman do a dealer trade with another dealer in San Bernardino just to get a car with no holes! Right now I'm taking my chances, but here's my crazy idea: attach some high-power magnets to the backside of the facia and the L/plate bracket .... no holes required!

 

I did this same thing with my Stratus R/T when I moved from NY to PA and no longer required a front plate. You can pick up the plugs at places like Home Depot or Lowes too. Just make sure you scuff them up a bit before you paint them or else the paint will start to come off after time. Rain hitting the front of a car at 75mph does have some force.

 

Utah requires front plates also, but at least half of the cars on the road don't have em, I"m surely not gonna make holes in my bumper, unless they beat me into submission!!! (which is a possibility)

danwell...was your driver's door painted over? the color seems to be off compared to the front fender in your picture. :?

 

Andrew: No, its 100% stock paint... must be a reflection or illusion or somthing. Seeing the car upclose shows no fowl play or previous 'bobbies' by the dealer

 

I dont know what your problem is, (maybe I arrested you once in AZ) but for reasons I dont have to explain, I was paying less, to add, why would I change plates everytime time I move ? And I do that a lot :roll: I gather you change plates everytime you leave the state !
Besides the AZ plates are cool !, And yes you are rude !!
Good grief ! cant anything here be said without getting pesonal !
And what the !@^$)# is AZ Outlaws ? :roll: Last time I checked it was a gang !

 

In NJ we are also required to have the front plate....
I will NOT drill holes in my car.
Have been pulled over ...thought because of no front plate...

The kind officer just wanted to get a closer look!

 

:shock: You mean to tell me there is not a law in each state that says you must register your car (which usually means getting their state plate) within a certain amount of time after moving there? Unless you only live in each state 30 days at a time, I would say that's why you would change plates every time you move. And the part about changing plates everytime you leave a state - well .... oh nevermind ......

If you are or were a law enforcement officer - then you should be setting the right example - not being an example of how to get around the law because you think a state has "cool" plates - or even cheaper ones. :roll:

 

I live in New Jersey too, where front plates are required. It's a $48 fine... My last car was a riced up 97 Eclipse and I never had a front plate on it either. Got a few tickets in the Eclipse... but none so far in the Crossfire. I think cops can understand you don't want to ruin the look of the Crossfire... Take a look next time you see the rare Lambo or Ferrari.. most don't have front plates either.

I got pulled over once and I thought it was for the plate.. but he gave me a warning for my tint! LOL - He never even mentioned the fact I didn't have a front plate.. guess he didn't notice.. but he noticed I had tint. Wierd if you ask me.

BTW New Jersey laws suck!

 

Umm.. yeah having a car registered in one state and living in another is illegal bud.

 

Here we go again, someone who doesn�ft like to be questioned and when you do thinks it�fs a personal attack�c

Panzer1,

Chill Dude but hold on tight!!!

No problem here officer, honest... just questioning something that doesn't sound right. Do you have a problem with someone asking? This is the USA, we can do that here.

And... no you haven't arrested me, I don't have a rap sheet. I do however have almost 1 million miles under my belt in a Big Truck without an accident or ticket. Besides, I would have remembered you in your Smokey the Bear hat, aviator sun glasses and a uniform that was too tight fitting. Officer Bubba, wasn't it? Guess this not so real "AZ Outlaw" needs to hang his head in shame for not being a "real" outlaw, huh???

Let's try this one more time, only a little s-l-o-w-e-r... You paid less for AZ tags which uses a value/property tax system when PA charges only a flat $24.00 fee, $10.00 for Seniors??? That's very hard to believe officer!!! Were you driving on expired tags??? I have a ten year old car for which I just sent in $53.00 and $165.00 on a 5 year old Jeep TJ back in Feb, not to mention the $549.00 I paid for the XF. I must of missed a day or two of 4th grade math class when they explained how to figure that one out!!!.

Because it is the law, that's why and it's a no brainer... even Barney Fife knows that.

No officer, I don't... only when I "move". That is except when I was in the military, in which case the law allows you to keep the driver's license and vehicle tags from your home state. Oh, did you know a military person stationed in CA can get tags there for a low flat fee if he shows his HOR (that's military talk for home of record) is in another state???

Well by golly gee whoopy ding dongs!!! That is a good reason to keep out of state tags on your car when you take up residence in another state!!! AZ tags are �gCool�h??? I never gave any thought to that part of the equation... silly me. However, it sure pisses me off when freeloaders move down here and try that crap. If they can�ft afford to pay their taxes somewhere then don�ft go there... stay up there in the rust belt, they'll be much happier!!!

I�fm very sorry, I wasn�ft trying to be�c but then �gOutlaws�h are that way sometimes, you know? It's just their nature.

Nothing personal here!!! IMHO, you made some off the wall statements and I asked you about them, that's all. You twisted your own panties in a knot.

I�fm sorry�c what does !@^$)# mean? Is that something �grude�h that your mother would wash your mouth out with soap if you said it? Shame on you!!!

Oh, �gAZ Outlaws�g�c that�fs called a "Forum or Internet�h name, you know, like �gPanzer1�g. Didn�ft "Panzer" have something to do with a **** army thing... a tank outfit or something way back when in WWII??? So, does your "Forum" name make "you" a ****???

I almost forgot to make a comment on your suggestion of attaching an ugly a-- plate to an even uglier a-- looking bra you made in another post. Yeh, go for it. It should look real "cool" and "uptown" as you drive down the parkway with a plate blowing in the wind halfa-- wired to a bra. Would you post a pic?

Hey, anyway�c have a great day.

 

if you are in the millitary then you can do it...
