Safety Car
The law has never changed. In the State of Texas it has always had to be on the front most part of the vehicle. The lawyer in the particular case was trying to get the traffic stop thrown out, which would have made the stop "illegal", because there was a previous case the supreme court had ruled on saying that the car had a plate "visible" from the front of the vehicle which is not actually the law. 90% of the cops out there will pull you for no front plate to check you out. IMO the only cops that will scratch you a ticket for this are the power tripping cops out there who don't deserve to wear the badge.

So last weekend I'm heading to Wichita Falls for the Corvette Car show benefiting the local food drive. I'm minding my own business (68 in a 70 zone) going through Rhome Texas when officer "Lord" pulls me over for no front licenses plate.
Which one should I do
1. Drill holes in the front bumper of my 2009 Callaway
2. Pay the $140 fine and never go through that RedNeck town again.

C6 Front License Bumper Mount:
Just left Classic Chevy in Grapevine where I have ordered a front license bumper mount. It is a rigid plastic and is mounted as a stick-on, is a flush mount (no wobble) and can be permanent mount if one wants.. Best part is that they can be ordered color-matched for your car.....is about $70.
Mine is ordered (abt three days from Houston), however, I purchased a stock black in order to show the Rosas group on wednesday. I'll have it with me if you want to see it.

I know, I know... But I'm not taking it with me to Switzerland, and I can't stand the thought of it sitting in a garage for a year and a half. It's just the right time...

If this is a GM part, isn't it going to be just like the one on the front of Ken's car that we've all been scoffing at for years?
