Hiya everyone, No worries nothing happened to the car !!! but darn this was a close call ..
So I am finally able to load up some pics of my car and thought I'd share with you how dangerous it is to park around Beantown lol

(pix taken with iphone, click on thumbnail for full pic)




on a nicer note, these were taken on a nice sunny day last summer... hope you like :














I hope to get some mods soon (wheels anyone) and post more pix

 

who parked first? i would be pissed as hell if i parked there and some doosh bag parked like that. and just to show that i'm pissed i would write a note saying PARK IN YOUR OWN FUCKING LANE YOU DUMBASS!!! and leave it in his wiper. haha

 

your front plate is looooowwwwwwww

 

I'd have moved my car. You never know about them Toyotas.

 

lol .. right on.. I actually parked first .. reason why I leave some space in my spot comes from experience with an older car .. learned the hard way: someone rammed into my car and left it all hanging on the ground.. when it was time to leave work, I was livid .... this guy above actually got talked to.

 

I know don't get me started ... hate a plate upfront. That's where they place them unfortunately.. I think any higher would look ever worse what do you think?

 

lol no more of this guy at work ... "side effect of a bad economy"

 

I think it will look better higher up. second to the last picture looks too much like a beaver or a rabbit.

 

Oh, hell no... lol at the Toyota comment.

 

god people who park shitty piss me off! good thing he didnt hit you

 

the best is when you park all the way in the back away from everyone and someone parks right next to you.

 

The plate assembly looks like they put it on upsidedown? Causing it to be lower than normal.....I would put it in the oem spot or do what bforbrian did and make a plate assembly off to the side attached to the lower grill.

 

I would not be a happy guy if I came out and saw that. as far as the front plate goes I don't like having one either.

This is what I decided to do with my front plate.

^^^ damn i like that !!! i remember someone who posted on a different thread:

"i would love to see the cops face after he pulls u up for no front license plates and when he check again its right there in his face like sunlight !!! "



where did u get the hide away from and how much ?

 

and OP i have my plates exactly the same way as well....i cut out a wedge on the side of the frame so that it fits perfectly over the a-spec !!! i like it there....better there than not having it and getting a ticket !!! (unless ofcourse hide-aways )

throw a smoked cover on top of it....will look wayyyy better !!!

 

It comes from swift motorsport. The price is around $150. I bought 2 of them at the same time, he gave me a deal. I drive with the plate up but I do like the option of putting it away for shows/meets.

 

yup yup....i would be rocking that....definitely my next mod.....

does the rear hideaway as well ?

 

no the back is different. I didnt do that one, it folds down. You have to do some drilling to put the one on the back. (at least the ones I have seen) Not looking to hide my plates from the law just for looks with the front one.

 

ohhh yeah ofcourse !!!

you mentioned about shows so thought will hide the rears while at a show

but yeah the front solves the purpose !!!

 

btw how was the install ?

 

the install was very easy (about 45 minutes). There is just a pos. and neg. that goes right to the battery. Comes with 2 remotes.

you can also get the cheaper one. You have to hide the plate by hand no remote control. I think that one is about $60

 

i'm so glad we don't have front plates in montreal... but i would definetly get the remote one if we did

 

You know what, now that you pointed that out I spent the day looking at TLs everywhere online and on the street lol ... and you're right it looks better higher
Maybe flipping the plate holder upside down will place it up..

 

Dude, the same thing happened to me, but the car's license plate touched my bumper. No harm was done so I just left.....

 

People would hate me if I posted a thread for every time this has happened to me. It's sickening.
