Default Re: no front plate in ohio . . .

yeah they are dicks about it...the reason why?
because the plate is the best target for a laser gun! I mean honestly is the cop going to get your plate # front the front ever? no hes going to tail you and get it.its simply a speed enforcement tool...ohio uses the most laser guns per capita out of all states and the plates are manufactured to reflect the beam..hence the shiny coating....i refuse to give them the benefit and its not a ticket that carries pts..they just tell u to get it on. I have never and will never put a front plate on any of my vehicles(jamemrs in its place). One cop near me did harass me with my truck so instead of putting the plate on i got a bumper sticker made that had my license digits and the state...totally legal as id but dosnt give them the edge for speed enforcement!

-thats just my 2cents on the front plate......

Default It's illegal in Illinois as well. Cops must be different in Ohio though, because I've

never been pulled over for it around here. In fact, I haven't had a front plate on any of my vehicles.

Default Not a fan of the grill the rest of it is good, the laser jammer setup is very nice...

I would be a bit cautious about getting some air to those radiators behind the fogs. PaulW correct me if I am wrong on this note.

If you're looking for why I am not a fan of the grill its a little too modded caddie'ish.

The Jammer spot is awesome and I love that. Johnny law will have trouble picking that one up.

Default 2nd that. I never bothered to put in the license plate

holder piece on my front end. The cops haven't said a peep (knocks on wood...)
