Catfisha

I'm not looking forward to the drive home.....FULL-BLAST HEAT with a side of pending panic attack...poor car....

Rick_TL-S

Just FYI, window doesn't work, either.

It's seen as a "safety" risk in the event of an accident.

Front Plate on sexy TL

Rick_TL-S

I don't run one, either.

TrojanTSX

Yep, if the wreck is bad enough the plate can decapatate a person's head. At least that is what I have been told by several different officers in the past.

Catfisha

Yeah....I can't look at the front of my poor car without dry heaving....I just look the other way now...

NBP_BALLER

HAHAHAHAHA FUNNY... but sad at the same time. A perfect way to ruin the looks of a car. I need to get some filler plugs for mine actually, so i dont have those dime sized holes where the plate bracket is (supposed) to be. COUGH COUGH. Thank you ACURA for making them, when I have to drill holes in Cadillac bumpers i wanna cry, its like murder. At least we can cover them up!

ib_jimmy

FYI guys, our Texas lawmakers forgot to pass the law for front plate this year (2013).

I say fight it!

NBP_BALLER

Yeah! At a boy! If we have a meet the 21st my TL will probably not be there now... I got ran into yesterday and my entire drivers side is ruined! front fender, both doors, both wheels and rear quarter are scraped and dented, some idiot tried to switch lanes when i was driving past him and killed my car

TrojanTSX

Dang! That sucks!!

Every morning I have to hit the horn at least once since there is always at least one idiot who tries to do that to me.

Hope everything goes well with the insurance companies.

Trentimus

I actually don't mind having a front plate.. It's too late for me anyways my car already has the holes anywho

NastyTL

this whole plate issue is 'poppy cock'... my silver TL didn't come with a front bracket but the Black Brandy did and that bracket is MISSING now that she got painted... I just have to go to court when I get pulled over

Rick_TL-S

The state will still accept the tickets & just apply the previous charges to them. Nothing's honestly changed.

license plate law has NOT changed. They were attempting to re-write it, and simply did not finish. Old laws are still in place. (they dont just delete laws... lmao)... And the only recent change to the law regarding license plate was changed wording stating that the license plate has to be "mounted on front and rear" to read "frontmost and rear most" keeping people from displaying license plates in their windows. It was NOT changed because they perceived a safety issue. There was a discussion a few years back from lobbyists stating that it would save hundreds of thousands of dollars by going to a single plate like other states, but Texas law enforcement claimed it would keep them from having a reflective enough surface for the radar guns to hit... lmao

EvilJoker

Not sure if anyone knows about these meets, but they are good. All mature respectful car enthusiasts. Police officers on duty to prevent any douche baggary...

Catfisha

Which WE ALL know from experience is PURE SHIT! THE PUREST OF ALL SHIT!I want to shove the front plate perpendicularly up the state's ASS!

Catfisha

...WITH the front bracket!

NBP_BALLER

I dont know of any meets anywhere actually. Just a few young kids with "RACE CARS" going to little kid meets lol Im 22 but i dont have time for high school kids and their fart cans. Have not been to a meet in forever! Although since my car got wrecked last friday I dont know if i wanna show up in a 2013 malibu.



Im still not running a front plate... Thats like brown bagging a supermodel. You just DONT DO THAT

EvilJoker

doesnt matter... not every car there will be a show car... there will actually be a few to laugh at... a lot of cool guys to BS with too...

EvilJoker

If I remember it was stated "would create an inability to get an effective radar hit"... because cars are radar proof without a front license plate... lol
They also said it would be harder to identify vehicles.. because you know when they run your tags, they do in from in front of you looking back at their rearview mirror... so lame

NBP_BALLER

Haha yeah I bet there will be some to laugh at. Well if you see a brand spakin new white 13' Malibu holler at me haha. Ill keep a look out for a WDP TL. What time does it start? Im still at the shop working and we got FB blockage here haha

EvilJoker

7-10... sometimes we BS until 11 or 12
I'll be in my WDP '06 with black 19" 5 spokes, & black grille

NBP_BALLER

Sweet ill try and make it out. At least this Malibu is fully loaded! They tried to give me a base with hubcaps

TrojanTSX

Ive been passing on Ricekiller meets ever since it was started.

EvilJoker

so, whats up with the GTG on the 21st?

Hockeyman

Ricekiller meets were cool back in the day, I used to go frequently. May have to check one out sometime soon to see how they look now.

Hockeyman

let's do it!

NBP_BALLER

I decided to show up last night to the RiceKiller meet. It was actually not too bad. There were alot of mustangs, corvettes, a couple supras, an R8, a viper or two, then some rice... evo's, VW'z, Cobalts, and a few HS kids and their "JDM" hondas and stock cars. I was talking with EvilJoker alot and his buddies who were actually very smart guys and know thier stuff. Ill be going back!

trancemission

Ricekillers? No thanks. Been to one a few years back.... Not for me.

As far as the front plate goes, for me the cosmetic appeal far outweighs the fines associated with it.

NBP_BALLER

So is the 21st a for sure set date?

opboarding

Sure why not. A few of us said it works so that's good enough for me.

opboarding

I don't mind the front plate on my tsx that much, especially after moving it to the lower mesh. Plus I get another place to show off my awesome plate.

I think it's worse for the 3g tl crowd because it sticks out more.

Catfisha

Unfortunately E, this could royally fuck the deferred I had for a ticket.... Trust me, I wish there was a giant paper bag I could throw over the front of my car.... I'm thoroughly disgusted and ashamed....

trancemission

I hear ya babe......Ive gone 8 years now without one....Im sure its only a matter of time but Ive beat the odds so far :knocksonwood:

I think its what they use as an excuse to pull you over to find out more info about you. Maybe they dont like your tint, or for some reason you just looked at that moment in time, suspicious to them. Or in the one situation that I was actually pulled over for it, I was entering the tollway and there was a state trooper standing there waving people over. Still I got a warning. The last 4 times Ive been pulled over, it was for speeding. All 4 times I was given a warning for speeding and the cops all said "hey, you know you're supposed to have front plate". My response has always been "yes sir I know, I have the kit to install it Im just waiting on the right hardware which is on backorder, its in my trunk if you wanna see it" I have the front plate mounted in the tow hook kit in my trunk and if called out I would just show them that and say Im waiting on a few more pieces. Will that work? who knows...

I think that there are a few things that come into play for me. One, i have a CHL and I tell them immediately, that (at least in my mind) tells them that I have no felonies. Two, my insurance is with USAA and most cops are prior military. and three, I pretty much kiss their ass the entire time Im talking to them with my hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel. I give them no grief what so ever. Or maybe its because they see Im older and realize that they're just wasting both our times fuckin with me.

Catfisha

I swear they have an APB out on me! I was getting gas, and he was sitting in the next parking lot over on Lemmon! I'm pissed 'cause I'm sure at least 30 cars went by him that didn't have a front plate either....a few Aston Martins, Maseratis, Mercedes, etc....BUT NO, he had to pull my poor ass over..... WTF?! I'm not wealthy enough to not have a stupid, ugly, muthafuckin', warty, tumorous, front plate?! Sorry, I'm just fuckin' angry.....

EvilJoker

Dont worry... my last decent car was a 1991 Z28 with about $4500 in suspension upgrades, all murdered out with 295/35-18s on the back with 3" exhaust all the way back from headers into a flowmaster with dual 3" dumps... I got harrassed all the time for stupid stuff. Got a ticket for front window tint being 1/4" below the line, pulled over for car being too loud, and other chicken shit reasons...

EvilJoker

where is this suppose to happen?

EvilJoker

also... I have the program that burns the DVD-Audio discs... if we have a GTG, you can bring your own blank DVD-R discs and your music on a flash drive and I will burn discs for you.
