Nicky

And is it legal in your state? Poll!

Hi Nicky. Florida doesn't require a front license plate. BTW I'm waiting for my custom plates.......

taxidriversingh

Its off. But I do need it, but it sits in my room.

kaliraver69

I don't have one on and it is illegal in cali not to have one on. But so far so good it's been about 5 months.

I have mine on, but would love to replace it with a custom Japanese plate

And I have no idea if it is illegal to not have the front plate where I am... my guess is that it is illegal. Anyone in my area knows this for sure?

nitehawktsx67

i think it looks hella better with it off

dzuy

and i dont

Texas law requires it, but I don't have it on. It looks too good without it. I haven't used a front plate since my first car.

CCColtsicehockey

I don't have one but I am going to be ordering a double set of Japanese plates soon for shows but that is the only time I will have one on

fdl

yes, required by law over here.

yes, front license make the car look bad, but it's still a TSX i keep it, i hate tickets..

xizor

required, ah well every other nice car has it here too

xizor

this is kind of cool if you haven't seen it link

In Ohio, gotta have a front plate... but I certainly don't run one.

As far as I can tell OR penalty for no F plate is far far less than a photo radar ticket would be. Photo radar in the PDX area is more and more common... and you now have to driver 20mph past a school at 2AM on Saturday night, or risk a photo radar ticket.

So I am playing the risk/reward game.

JLavino

MA Requires it unless you have the old school green lettered one. Its a pisser. I have mine on, but have been contemplating about removal.

daniel1113

I don't need one while I am at school in PA, but when I return home to CO this summer, I'll have to put it on. Luckily, CO plates kick ass

It's required in WA. I have it on just to avoid being pulled over. Don't want to take the chance.

drkangel348

illegal here in california but I took it off... the fine for "no front plate" is a 10$ fix it ticket, and you will only get one if you park out on the street where meter maids can ticket you.

I've seen a Pacifica, Golf, and Jetta (it was rebadged as Bora) here in town with Euro plates on the back. At a stoplight I asked they guy in the Golf and he told me to go here:

I asked if it was legal here in Ohio and he just shrugged. I don't imagine it is. BUt man that'd be sweet if I could recreate a Euro plate with my license plate number...hmm.

It's illegal here with no front plate, but I haven't had one on since I got my TSX. So far no tickets. I see at least 2 or 3 cars around here with no front plates on each day, so I don't imagine it's something the local cops want to waste their time on.

raynord

PA doesn't use the front plate and I prefer it that way. The front plate spoils the bodywork.

YBA

That may sound stupid but I never saw a TSX with a front plate... Here in Quebec we may pay more for gas but at least we don't have to deal with front plates

Where does the front plate attach? Are there any wholes in the bumper?

Cheers

vwong

and never will.

LoveMyTL-S

In the USA, the TSX comes with a license front plate frame/bracket that attaches to your bumper. It's held in place by two bolts that bolt to two clips inside the bumper. So if you remove the plate and frame/bracket it's very hard to see the clips............Looks much nice without all that stuff on the bumper.

gfxdave99

I have mine on just cuz some of the suburbs I tend to roll though have pricky cops that will look for any excuse to pull you over.

TSX.Fury

yeah... I keep it on cause it just gives em a reason to pull you over...

sleeper

it's off, but i keep the plate in my trunk in case a cop pulls me over. if i get busted, i'll just tell him someone backed into the car and broke the frame. haven't been pulled over for it yet, though. :knocksonwood:

LannyM

The law says you need a front plate in CT, but this front end just wouldn't work with one.......

virtualbong

I have one because I'm required to. If I wasn't required to, it would be off in less than a second.

I've been running without a front license plate for nearly 2 year on my TSX and have not had any problems with it so far.

Back in Cali, I never parked on the street so didn't have to worry about meter maids writing me up for it.

Here in VA, I'm currently still running my Cali plates until next month when they expire and even when I switch to VA plates, I'm not going to have my front one mounted. Only place I would ever park out on the street is in DC and even then, I hardly ever go there in my car. Usually just take metro.

TomK

Front plate required in Minnesota, so mine's on.

CSpaR

In New jersey, it's the law to have both front and rear plates.

BlackTSXer

same here .. im out in cali too where it is illegal. i havent got busted for the front plate yet *knock on wood*.. but i got busted for my tint and drop.. but the cop let me go.

TSX.Fury

You arnt worried about it in NoVA? I have heard the cops are hardcore about it?

I understand with the Cali plates they wouldnt pull you over but with VA plates you arnt worried at all? lol maybe I will reconsider...

Like I said, I don't ever parallel park around here and my commute to and from work is less than 10 miles roundtrip. Plus, the purchase sticker from when I first got the car still sits in the lower passenger corner of my front windshield so to the unsuspecting cop, it'll look like the car is new anyway.

drunkenbuda

I don't have one, i'm knocking on wood!!!!! The TSX looks soooo clean without the front plate.......

ILoveMyHonda

yeah another cali resident, yup its required here, I have a a handful of friends who got fix-it tickets for not having it on, I had mine off for the whole time b4 I got plates, looked clean, but then when I got plates had to put em on, but I thought I'd spice it up a bit...

TinkySD

mine was off within an hour of taking delivery! No problems in 2+ years

dom

Kinda makes the car look unbalanced.
