So as some of you know I drive with my license plate up in my window. Not only for front end astetic reasons, but also so my fogs don't get blocked by it. I received a warning ticket from a state trooper today and after I've driven by over 50 police officers in the past year one decides to get me for it. So my question now for you all is where should I relocate it?

Possibilities:
1. Put on in original spot, leave fogs
2. Put on in original spot, take off middle 2 fogs
3. Original spot, remove all fogs and put ssIII grill in
4. Cover up OEM fog light placement with plate just below blinker
5. Keep plate at home and say it was stolen and the new plates are on order smile.gif

Any suggestions are welcome, I won't be driving till this evening again so I hope to hear back from some of you with ideas. Also if I were to remove the fogs does anyone have OEM fogs? how about a grill?

nope..we get big plates only...no thin ones like european style. I say put it over to the passanger side under the turn signal, or bend up your plate and wrap it around the bottom part of your bumper where you have your "celica" sticker and make it so that only your numbers are visable. I donno if thats legal where you are, but i have a few friends here in ontario that did that with their cars and it was ok.

That's a bummer! Is it illegal to take to the plate with an angle grinder and remove the top and bottom bits (that say 'vermont' and whatever crappy slogan) so you are just left with the rego number? wink.gif

^^^^ yes

This is what i conjoured up in an hour, bent metal brackets, drilled holes and made custom brackets...its temporary for the moment till i finally decide what to do but it looks pretty good for now. AND yes it did rain during my modifying..
