Backmarker

I parked out in front of my favorite cafe today (Bernie's on 24th for you locals) and the parking ***** nailed me for no front plate.

Almost ruined my coffee. Almost.

A while back I saw a GT3 with a tow hook mounted front plate holder. This seems like the perfect solution to my problem, can anyone point me to where I can buy one?

Oh wait, think I found it on my own after some deep google channeling and caffeine

Anyone know a cheaper option?

20 years of multiple cars with no front plates...and then I got 3 tickets earlier this year for it on 2 different cars. All of a sudden it's high priority in SF, since there are no other problems here.

I found the bracket that came with the car and installed it. Completely ruins the look. Will probably take it off again next year. Hopefully, they'll be on to the next big emergency then...like jaywalking or panhandling in the median.

this guy sells an adaptor that uses the front toe hook opening and holds a plate...good enough to get a ticket signed off..$37.50...email him for pics..

No front plate in san francisco is $120 getting stopped by a patrol car is $128. Last year or year before that it was only $100- lol. Mike ps- looks ugly with plate and flimsy mount after a few knocks parking- it strips and fly off( on my previous 996)

SF is the worst for no front plate.

but i also got on on I80, she pulled me over for speeding but i pleaded so got a plate tix. i velcro'd it on, local chp signed off with a smirk... i took it off after i got home.

I'd rather have a $120 plate ticket than a red light ticket or a photo radar ticket. But that's just me. Plus I think Porsches look ridiculous with a front plate.

DO NOT park at LAX without a front plate.

Ask me how I know ...

I bought one a couple of months ago for something like $40. I'll see if I can find the link.

This is the one I bought. Nice piece. You can see that I haven't mounted it. I did try it on for fit. Works fine.

I see he's posted over on 6speedonline:

Wow, glad I don't live in The City. I've been skating by for quite a few years now without so much as a fix-it ticket. I guess SF's priority is revenue generation... solving real crime actually costs money!

Or move to a state that doesn't require it like North Carolina!

Amen to that brother. I don't run any plates at all. I've found it to be very comforting when I don't see the flashing lights from an enforcer's car that has just passed me in the opposite direction. Taking the long way home... again.

We're going through the same thing in Ontario. I mounted my front plate because these days you really don't want to give the Cops a reason to pull you over and start asking silly questions.

Don't think we haven't thought about it....this front license plate law is intolerable!! F@#k'n fascists...err, or are the commies out here? I can never remember.
