I use bungy cords when necessary.

Wheni hit my deer it ripped the front plate off my galant, A day and a half later i was pulled over for no front plate. I wasnt even doing anything wrong at all and he turned around pretty fast for it. Anyways, he just said ok when i told him what happened, but how patetic is it that it only took me a day and a half to get pulled over for something so stupid.

Here is some pics. I didn't realize until later that it wasn't quite all the way down as you can see in the pics. It comes down another 1/2-3/4". You can just barely see the top edge of the numbers/letters when it's down. You get the idea.

Niterydr- I did look into the flip down/ flip up method. There was a how-to from some guy that had an MR2 I think it was. Our opening isn't quite deep enough to do that. The ledge would have to be around the same depth as the plate. .... So I came up with my own idea here.

Hey, that's really cool. Great idea!!!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I absolutely hate the front plate look but it's the law to have it on. At least this way, it still looks cool and it abides by the law. I should have took pictures of the construction of it but anyone with some inginutiy could reverse engineer what I did. The flat metal I used with the slot in it just happened to be something I found laying around my dads machine shop.

You think you could give some more directions/plans in addition to your reverse engineering statement?

I would really like to do something like this as I actually do not have a license plate bracket for my car, and this type of thing would be perfect for me.

I ran my fiero without front plate... everytime I got pulled over for no front plate (3 times)... ticket everytime. Jimmy (TalonFiero) never ran a front plate on his... he (to the best of my knowledge) never got 1.

Not a problem anymore since I sold the car :D

I got pulled over last summer IN Porky's in front of like 75 people for no front plate, but they were all on my side, razzin' up the cops and such. I think it was just a fix it ticket, IIRC.

the cops were looking for anything at that point, but if they had looked anywhere besides my car, they would have seen 10 camero's and a bunch of other cars w/out a frontal plate.

I will draw up a blueprint of it using the Microsoft paint program and post it on here. It won't be until tommorow though.
