Plate on the bracket, though I have a very thin silicone plate holder attached also. I am removing that and will see today if I still get the warningDo you have a plate mounted on the bracket, or just the bracket?
Or tell them you don't need front plates at all like most states have moved to.I guess it’s time to talk to your state representatives to urge them to do a program like we have in CA for a legal license plate wrap.
Sometimes the law is absurd. How about death penalty for a second offense?The police here say the law says otherwise. Mainly because while legal as a novelty item it's NOT a state approved identification and cannot be affixed as such. Doesn't matter what you want them to charge you with. Ignorance is no excuse from the law.
That said the chances are, I'd hope, that you would get a warning and nothing more unless they are having a really bad day. But I'd rather not roll the dice.
I'm thinking that as well. I'd rather have just the ability to put the plate on right before the yearly inspection and remove it right afterwards. I don't need anything beyond that. Front plates are required for a sticker in Maine, but I've only ever heard of warnings given out to people who get pulled over without a front plate. Plus half the cars on Maine roads in the summer are from out of state with no front plates, so they really can't take a close look at every one.Hmm. Knowing now that there is a screw under there to utilize I’m fairly certain I can make something that would work if I get in trouble for running with no plate and save the $100 entry price
How has this been working for you? Did you get your plates? Any issues once you put plates on the brackets?Ordered the Sho N Sto bracket and mounted it today. I talked to a guy there before ordering to make sure it does not interfere with any of the sensors. He said that it doesn't and he has sold several. Here is how it looks.
I haven't had any issues with sensors and the Sto n Sho bracket. I have a premium model which has a slightly different bracket than the GT.How has this been working for you? Did you get your plates? Any issues once you put plates on the brackets?
Thank you, that's good information to have.I haven't had any issues with sensors and the Sto n Sho bracket. I have a premium model which has a slightly different bracket than the GT.
I think this is a smart use. Otherwise, if mounting permanently, I honestly think Ford’s bracket looks best (short of no bracket).I'm thinking that as well.

While it’s true if the cops are saying something about how to interpret a law they’re probably right, they nevertheless don’t get the final word on what is or isn’t the law.The police here say the law says otherwise. Mainly because while legal as a novelty item it's NOT a state approved identification and cannot be affixed as such. Doesn't matter what you want them to charge you with.
