Default Anyone know if a euro front plate will fly in CA?
just got my 3rd ticket today for not having a front license plate and was curious to see if i could get away with the euro plate. I have the front plate delete thing in there, so i believe the euro plate would be easier/and cheaper. suggestions?

Default It depends *where* in Cali. The Bay Area isn't too strict, but once you head towards
SF/Berkeley/Oakland, the risk increases. At least that's my feeling on this matter.

I bought my S4 from the dealer w/o a front plate mount over three years ago. Haven't had a ticket yet. Of course now that I bring it up, I just jinxed myself...

Default You'll never get a front plate to fly...
horrible aerodynamics...maybe you could float it frizbee style but that would only work for short distances.

Good luck, that is all...

Default so true, in the OC not much of a problem, but parts of LA are strict.
Also, parking at any airport is dicey. They walk thru writing tickets. I don't think you'll get a pass, even with a euro plate.

Bad karma. There's more cars without front plates than with in Newport.
