[Old Guy]

That pic is with your phone??? If it is it looks really good...

[3 DeeJay]

Yup yup.. A Sanyo 8100 picture phone..

I have a question.. if I put a cover on my front bumper and leave my front plate in the windshield could they give me a ticket?

[Old Guy]

They "probably" could but I would guess that they would tell you to mount it and just give you a warning.

I have a friend who is a State Highway Patrolman and he said that the front plate is there not only for identification but also as a safety measure since it's reflective so if you forget to put your lights on other cars can still see you.

I've been fooling around with a retractible front bracket like some of the street rods have on them, but there's not much room to work with.

[3 DeeJay]

darn.. I wish we didn't have to have front plates.. oh well..

[Artic]

thought ohio was gettin rid of front plates

[LargeFish]

I heard a rumor this summer that as of 1/1/4 front plates were no longer required, but I haven't seen any deifinitive information. Guess I'll have to check Oplates.com on Friday...

[Old Guy]

Well if they aren't.......mine's gone!!!! Car looks much better with the cover on it!!

[Artic]

I agree on that !

[tenspeed]

I got my 96 Achieva in 1997 and just got my 02 GE in August.
The front plate bracket got hit five days after I got the Achieva and it's still in the trunk six years later. No front plate on the GA either. Never got stopped in NY yet.

[Old Guy]

I had my cover on for 3 days when I got back from Fla and got stopped!!!! The cops in my town are anal!!!

[vdgmcool]

Awesome hood!

[3 DeeJay]

I think my car looks better without.. I hate that front plate..

[NChill4x4]

Nice.... and I hope Ohio DOES get rid of front plates... cuz in a month I may have to register in Ohio since I live here, and I am NOT putting on a front plate... it ruins the whole look of the car... I'll get ticketed before I do it

For whatever its worth, they require a front plate in Wisconsin, but I have yet to put the front plate on either of my 2 Grand Am's. Actually, I dont really know where they are. I dont think it would be very noticable if you put the cover on, since you have a silver car. At quick glance, it would look like its there.

[3 DeeJay]

Is ohio goin to get rid of them or is that just made up?

[I0KTGOLD]

alot of people are only recieving 1 plate , the flat plate on my other forum , so maybe the law did pass , they only got one , so how can ya get a ticket for that , and no the plates wernt stuff together

just try it out for a while! i've never had front plates since i've purchased the car a year ago and never once have gotten hassled...so i'm sure it can't hurt ya..i think the license plate cover with the "pontiac" inlays in it looks very nice

[Black99GT3]

OLDGUY, i'm in Medina every thursday night for JoJo's 15 cent wings and never have any trouble! but i guess it's different if you live there

[LargeFish]

Well I just visited Oplates and no notice about a change to a single plate... Only thing there is about two different fee increases... lol... And Nchill, a lot of communities are tough on the rule, most require proof of installation after the first ticket and a few burbs here are known to tow and impound for a second offense!!!

[Old Guy]

As LargeFish said...it depends on where you live.

Black99GT3 - You're just basically passing through Medina, drive it all the time and you'd be sporting a nice white front plate just like I do.

Guys drive through here all of the time with dark window tint too......but I know from the $150.00 ticket I got ....that doesn't fly if you're resident. Guess that's the price you gotta pay to live in "Yuppieville" ;)

[Black99GT3]

medina = yuppieville? are we talking about the same medina...IMO medina = hickville..

[LargeFish]

20 years ago it was. Check some current real-estate listings...

I am going to keep my licenses plate in the windshield.. They can see it well enough to read so they will just have to get over it.. and I'll play dumb if they pull me over.. stupid ohio laws..

[LargeFish]

Putting it behind your windshiled really buys you nothing...

:roll2: Ask your dad if he'd like to trade property taxes with me this year......bet he'd say No Way!!

well i don't want to start any arguments because we all own beautiful grand ams (which is all that matters), so i'm just gonna not say anything about that

[Old Guy]

Probably a wise thing to do....next time you're out cruisin' check out the homes in The Reserve and Fox Meadows.....Prices start at a cool $450K...and that's the small ones...

I really do wish it would return to "Hicksville" though.....I liked it much better when I could get across town in 5 minutes!!

-Property taxes in Copley are more than in Medina...sorry...p.s. i asked my dad and he laughed and said he wished he had medina property tax

(it's Copley/Akron, not Copley/Fairlawn)

OldGuy & LargeFish..i am not trying to start anything because i could truthfully care less, so just wanted to let you know there is no problem here

[Old Guy]

A few year ago he'd be correct......but now that they built that monstrosity that they call a High School it's gotten pretty bad, and there's a new levy going up for vote on our next ballot.

But.......regardless of anything said.....other than Jo Jo's and Paul's Pub, Medina is pretty far from Hicksville.

[3 DeeJay]

how did we go from my hood.. licenses plate to property tax?? :lol:

[Black99GT3]

haha! yeah jojo's gives me a bad impression of medina, but hey you can't beat 15 cent wings!! i heard about the high school they built..now i hope highland works on getting a new football field so when we come to their place every other year it isn't a mud pit that favors their wing-t offense :D

[Black99GT3]

[sound_xtreme]

i havent had a plate on my car since i bought it. i bought it in indiana. had holes for a bracket but no bracket. never put it on. it has been 2 years and i have lived in the toledo and the dayton/springfield area now. never been pulled over for it. i HAVE been pulled over for numerous other offenses but they never once mentioned that i need a plate. if they ask, all i am gonna tell em is "see the primer, i have had body work done and I am in the process of making a bracket". hehe
