I wish I didn't have to put one on but I will soon enough. I bought the car in Quebec so it didn't come with a front plate holder, and the black optics version is on back order (so I keep the plate and invoice/email handy in case I get pulled over).

Are they that tight on the front plate in Canada? I haven't had a front plate on any of my car in the last 20 years and I have only gotten 1 fix it ticket.

I'm not sure, this has been my first time running without one. I'm conflicted...I want to just keep it off and hope I don't get a ticket (I can deal with the fine) but I just don't want to get a fix it ticket for my tinted windows. That could turn much more costly.

From my own experience, yeah they are. Everyone I know who has run without a front plate usually makes it about a month before they get a ticket. They don't do anything to attract attention either, the police are just really strict when it comes to front plates. Sometimes the offices are cool about it, other times they go over the car with a fine tooth comb and look for anything else to ticket you on.

And that's exactly why I don't want to risk it. A $110 fine could turn into $4-500 in fines, and having to redo my tinted windows, etc. I've always flown under the radar with the darker than legal windows, but I also wasn't drawing attention from not having a front plate.

Daytona was my second choice as well. But really I held out for a Nardo in my spec for a LONG time. My wife actually really likes the color but wouldn't want to have it. She loves the black on her Q7 but is quickly seeing how hard it is to keep clean (despite being ceramic coated).
