This is one of the stupider "50 countries in a trench coat pretending to be one country" things we have going on. There's no reason not to require plates on both the front and back bumper, especially when it's opening the door for confusion with fake plates on the optional bumper.
There is also no reason they can't dismiss front plate pictures as unreliable.
Or just scrap double plates as an unnecessary and outdated thing.
So many vehicles in those 20 states don't even have a front plate holder at all because they were either removed by the dealer or didn't come with them in the first place.
Yeah I bought a new car last year and it doesn’t even have a mounting spot. it’s not a big deal not having two plates I’m sure one of the other 600 cameras on the drive will get me.
For fun I looked up how I’d have to mount a front plate and it’s just gross. I’d have to drill holes into the front or buy a bracket that’d be lopsided.
I used two self-tapping sheet metal screws when we moved from a single-plate-on-the-back state to a double-plate state.
There’s no holder but…. That’s pretty much decorative anyway.
So what? That's how it's done at the factory too. I am also opposed to front plates but drilling into the bumper is no big deal
Because front plates look like shit and Id rather not have to drill into my car just to make it easier on the cops?
Wow no kidding.
Wow no kidding.
Nice to see you really wanted to keep this post going lol
Almost as if there’s a difference between
An assembly line making perfectly centered holes into a part that they’ve yet to finish painting and detailing
versus
my ass crouching down and praying I can get four clean pilot holes in and by some miracle the paint not start flaking
Not to mention what if I put the plate slightly too high and it catches more wind and starts making some annoying ass whistling
No reason? How do you think those plates get made?
Yeah no. The thing here is that some cars are not designed to have a front LP, and you've got me fucked up if you think I'm going to drill holes in a piece of art.
Front plates are bad for aerodynamics/fuel efficiency.
Source? It can’t be a significant amount
Considering all the massive utes with flat faces in the States, it would have exactly zero effect on those. Like maybe if you own a Ferrari I guess.
