***Well I just got pulled over for having no license plate in the front of my ******
Don't feel lonely. That happened to me this week. They use the lack of a front plate for just cause to stop you and interrogate you. I'm of the belief they are hoping to find stolen things in your car or drugs and make a easy arrest. In other words they're out there fishing and you/I have given them an opening, so to speak. I'm not anti cop or anything...it's just the way things are/work in life. Three weeks ago they stopped me at 2am a half block from my house .......supposedly for not making a left turn signal in my neighborhood. While one cop checked up on my arrest record, the other in a round about way explained how they were looking for mischief makers in my neighbor hood (read THIEVES{Thiefs??} sp. and the lack of a turn signal gave them the opening to stop me with cause. Anyway, my front plate still resides in the rear near the spare tire....under the carpet. |

That's strange. I never got pulled over before. Which is a good thing since I haven't yet gotten Jersey inspection yet (bought in Pennsylvania) and my license is on my dashboard. So far no problems...

After a couple tickets, I decided I needed to do something. The studs in the stock mount location where rusted to hell (they weren't used since the previous owner moved to Florida in '92) so I grabbed a couple self-tapping screws and went to work. The goal was to not block the radiator, and not stick over the hood.

Victoria British sells a front plate bracket pretty cheap, I think... (Don't have the catalog handy to givce you a price.)
Even though Ohio law requires front plates, I never got pulled-over in my 7, Miata, or mr2 without them... Moved to a college town in NW Ohio, and immediately got stopped on may way home from work at 11 PM in a frickin Olds 88 for no plate... |
Ahh, a fellow Rochesterian. My S4 came with a little metal bracket (looks factory) that sticks out and up from the openings in the front of the bumper. If you are desperate, you can order it from Mazdatrix.

no plate

no plate! cause in Alberta, Canada there isnt a law... stating that we need front plates!
|
Get rid of it!!!!!!!!!! they look GAY on any car!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont care how you mount it, its still going to look like crap!!!!
|
What plate? I've never had a front on any of my cars. The cops don't care. I drive past sheriffs and troopers all day. Never once had a problem. I was pulled over once for toasting a 'red' light, nm it was yellow when i went thru. I got a warning for it, and the officer noted I had no front plate, but he said with a car like this I wouldnt want to wreck the looks with a front plate. So he ignored it. Never ever had a problem since.

this isnt recommended but its what i have.......

zip ties work for me

I liked the way some Japanese race shop mounted it on a hinge so when your at speed it folds back into the grill opening.
Sort of like Toomuch4you above with the hinge at the top of the plate. |
ive got mine on the lower right side of my dash
|
One plate state-
and no emissions. Except for the 90% friggin humidity, and the hugeass bugs, Florida rocks! |

I'm in Henrietta now, but I'm originally from the Blackstone Valley (Massachusetts) area.
I love that hinge idea, I might have to give it a shot. I've tried the dashboard thing before (on my volvo) but the authorities were none to pleased. But that was in Massachusetts ... |
There is a stock bracket made by Mazda. Probably available at any dealer. Looks like this:

No front plate...in my experience you will never get pulled over JUST for this. The cop has to be really really bored hehe
|
Ha I'm in Henrietta too. I think I may have actually driven by your house a few times. You dont happen to live on E. Henrietta do you?
