Would like to know what others experances have been with not having a front plate on thier Z in California. A we all know the Z looks a whole lot better without the plate but I would like to know if anyone has been given anything other that a fix it ticket? And if so what were the circumstances?

I have never been stopped in my Z. Not only does it have not front plate, it has no bumpers. I am pretty sure all you get is a fix-it in CA. What else can they do? I was stopped last year in my truck on American River Drive (yes, Owen, THAT American River Drive) for not having a front plate. I don't think I even had to get a re-inspection like you have to with lights and such. I am pretty sure I just had to pay a $65 fine by mail. Sack o' Tomatoes is really cracking down on front plates though. They are installing cameras EVERYWHERE. Love the one at Alhambra and J and the mother of all is at Howe and Fair Oaks.

A friend of mine in Visalia has this hologram-like-thing on his front plate. It is clear plastic, but at a certain angle and with bright light (flash) it goes blank. It looks interesting, but I would think if you got pulled over for ANYTHING and a CHP saw it, it would wizz him off and you would be done for.
