Ok, so in the past 6 months i've been pulled over 3 times for not haveing a front licence plate, 2 of which I got a ticket for. I finally got tired of it and mounted the plate, problem is I HATE the way it looks...
So I went on a search and found a "retractable" licence plate. I got if off of ebay for 60 (I think) but it was made for a corvette. I figured it wouldn't be too hard to modify and about 10 mins ago I mounted it up. This is how it looks.... This is a far away pic (probably like 6-8 feet away fom the car)  Here is a pic that is a bit closer and more focused on the mount  Here is a really close shot of the mount  And this is with it up, (for those of you wondering - Yes, that is my actual plate and it pretty much says "Your Hating")  Now I know it is blocking the fog light a bit, unfortunatley do to the design of the mount that was as far over as I could go (as far to the passanger side). I did take a shot with the lights on, doesn't appear to have THAT big of an impact, espically because the fog lights are designed to point to the sides...   Hopefully I'll be able to get away with it like that. Legal limit in CA is 12" from the ground. Where it is now I think it is JUST under 11.5". So unless a cop busts out his tape measure I think I'll be good. --------------------  |
