Front license plate option

[Andrew Wolfe]

Even worse is that it's not actually written anywhere that the front plate has to be on the front bumper (which is what the police enforce). The DMV website actually says you must have one front and one rear plate "placement not defined". The actual law doesn't specify that it has to be on the front bumper and no one at the DMV can find the wording that say so for me.

Where else would you put it to be compliant with the law? Blocking a portion of the window is illegal. On the hood?

Perhaps it is a poorer design of regulations. Requiring a plate on the front at all is redundant and unnecessary.

Think outside the box.
Think outside the USA?

I decided to order the bracket from currentevtech.com that just attached to the tow hook bolt. The Tesla bracket mounts with three screws drilled into the grill along the top of the bracket. You then have to drill out the holes for the attachment of the license plate to the bracket. Attached are front and back pics of the bracket. The large hole is centered over where the tow hook bolt is

When I enter currentevtech.com into my browser it goes to http://ww1.currentevtech.com/ which is obviously not where you went to buy that plate mount, it's a site that is trying to sell that domain name. Could you please check and post the website URL where you bought that plate mount? Thank you.

I'm pretty sure this site no longer exists.

This one, however, does, and I'm happy with the mount I got for my Roadster: http://moweraxle.com/licenseplatebrackets/othermakesmodelcars.html

That company died some years ago. The license plate bracket they were selling was my design, which I gave to them after I had a batch fabricated to sell on my own. The bracket was manufactured by Scott Kirksey at ARVI Manufacturing. He recently made up another batch and was selling them directly. You can contact him at Scott Kirksey <[email protected]>.

Does your art dept still have the stencils for doing this? I'd love to get mine done like this.

I found the best front license plate situation of all. It is called 'The Emperor's Front License Plate.' Here is a picture

It has been reported that ...
If you park at one of the LA area major airports (or at a public parking meter in Santa Monica) without a front plate, you are most likely to get a ticket.

Maybe we could work toward getting the use of vinyl plates legal in California.

I was able to secure the factory front plate bracket to my 2.5's grill by feed a couple of zip ties through the back. I was thus able to avoid the horror of drilling holes in the front of the car
