If you go to any Radio Control car or plane store and ask for servo tape you will get some double sided tape that will most certainly do the job. It will be black and about 1 1/4 inch wide and cost about $5. Another option if you just want to get the ticket signed off is to just zip tie it to the grill. They wil know whats up but you are still " legal" . I've done that and cut it off at the next corner

CA requires two plates (front and rear). I don't have a front one on my MCS and if I get stopped (again ) I plan on asking the officer if he can write me for no front plate instead of speeding.

And the officer will say: "I was just going to give you the speeding ticket, but now that you mention it, I'll add the no front plate ticket too!"


Thank God I live in a NO FRONT PLATE STATE!

Michigan roads are horrible, but no front plate.

Then I got to wondering;

OH NO.

He just wanted to mount a plate and now we have made it political.

We're gonna get busted by the moderators!!!
