Here in MN, law says you have to have real plates on front and back. So it would be kind of pointless for me to get one of those. Although, I really do want one.

Looks great!

Though in CA you could get a fix it ticket, yes? I'm in the same boat here in CA as I am running front plateless.

Guess I was a little slow on your tag line...

Thanks for your service, and Merry Christmas. Stay safe!

I have had two cars running europlates on the front in SoCal for over three years and I have never been pulled over for it nor have I got a ticket for it. I'm sure it is just a matter of time though

Love it!

Nevada has a strange law...if your car is not configured for a front plate, then two plates are not required, but if it is configured, then you must have a front plate. So I ordered mine without. If I added a Euro plate, the law would eventually require a real tag.

Oh well, some mods are not to be...

GA Tech "Buzz" logo?

I really like your LY/B color scheme! Fatherdeth may be right:

If you agree, here is one you might consider. You can see the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket mascot ("Buzz") logo at:

Don't know if they have decals or anything. Might be cool in a window or something?
