Collector Plates

TkrPerformance · 04-26-2011

never had a problem with them at all. all you need is a 2nd car in your name. also if the car is not 1969 or old you will have to have the front plate on it even with the collector plates on it. you will still get a no front plate ticket

Still needing a second plate sucks. Anyone confirm insurance rates are lower? If not, there really isn't any benefit to the plates.

Haven't got a ticket yet with the Evo. Unless I start getting one every month, I'm not running one.

Same here

IMHO you have to do something above and beyond just a front plate to get pulled over in the metro area.

I got ONE in the Talon over two years, I was parked on the street in dinkytown. Dumb mistake on my part. Started propping it up inside the bumper when street parking after that and never got another.

I was waved over once on an onramp by a Plymouth cop while they were doing a random DOT check on trucks, I just got a warning, he didn't even run my crap.

That's exactly it. I avoid parking the Evo on the street. I think in front of Scheides' house is the only place that I ever have.

I've been pulled over at least four times in the dsm and once in another car for no front plate(in various cities and never doing anything wrong). Received tickets a couple times but got them dropped by showing up to prove I've added a front plate to the car. It's a pain in the a$$.

Before i left for california, i got two tickets for no front plate IN ONE DAY. And had 4 other tickets for no front plate. I fought every single one of them and got them dismissed on the grounds that i showed them an invoice that i had ordered a new bracket for it. After the two in one day i threw the front plate in the windshield and never got hassled again. (the invoice was a fake heheh. )
