i currently have the Carbonio... and tbh i don't really like it.

extreme OCD here... the way the screws are positioned in the back, i find it difficult to tighten in the position i want. also, just when i thought i have it perfectly aligned, once i tighten the screws, the bracket moves just so slightly that it moves from the position i want it to be. even though it may be just a mm off, it bothers the heck out of me!

in conclusion... not sure whether to get the RHO or the EOS... just now i placed an order for both! hahaha i will soon have all 3 brands... so after i receive shipment of the other 2, i'll decide which one to stick with.

Anyone tried mounting the us millworks one for the f80/82 on the g80?

Just like others here… I have never had front plates on my car even though my state requires trem. Never been pulled over.

Drove my E92 M3 with ED zoll plates on the front (they were glued) for 5 yesrs… at most cops would take a look and that’s it.

No front license plate. #YOLO

I just picked up the rho v2. Quick shipping. I haven’t put it on yet. Still have my temp plates at the moment.

I keep my G82 in NH as well. Tried that. Worked once. The next two times it didn’t.

In the instructions they recommend putting it on the second hole from the edge, but you can put it on the furthest one, looks better when its mounted.

The front plate should be illegal

[element56]

don’t

[Casone238]

I’m in the tristate my C43 amg had no front plate & my M340 has no front plates & cops don’t bother me. My bro had a trackhawk with no front plate and cops don’t bother him ether. I think you will be fine if you choose not to have one.

I always mount mine dead center. I'd rather wipe my butt with my dollar than to pay a penny for silly parking tickets.

Its required in Illinois where I live and cops are pretty diligent about giving tickets for no front plate, especially when parked. But its a fix it ticket. I usually just put my plate in the front windshield when parked in the city, and usually dont have problems. The one time I did get a ticket, i just took a pic with my plate taped over the tow hook area and wrote back that the cop must have missed it and it was dismissed.

I hate paying fines/tickets too, i dont even like paying tolls, but another way of looking at it is, we pay hundreds/thousands for cosmetic changes to the car, paying a ticket once in a while is worth it for me not having to put plate on the front.

Inside your trunk, under the mat, never to be seen again.

obviously.

Both of my cars don’t have the front plate but I never took a ticket. After this message it will happen 😓

I passionately hate meter maids, and they are the sneakiest pests here in Los Angeles where meter maids can write you up for not having a license plate. I park on the street almost everyday in busy areas where meter maids are out in force extorting every penny they can get. With ticket fines being $70+, you'd need a second job or something to pay for the fines if they write you up a few times a month. Not worth the headache to me.

It’s funny that u will get a ticket and people occupying sidewalks and public spaces openly using drugs are OK.

It's called generating revenue to pay for their pensions.

park on sidewalk and leave crackpipe on dash

[nu2M]

I have plates mounted on my DDs but not on my toys. Here in SoCal, cops need to generate revenue so if you get pulled over by yesman doughnut consumer, you’ll get a ticket. JMHO but I think they also target higher end cars. Oh and those meter rent-a-wannabe cops….😔 I just ordered a Sho n Sto for my M3CX.

[kyuuyu]

Honestly the problem isn’t the cops stopping us while driving, its the meter maids while our cars are parked, so what the best solution for that situation?

[Psychos1s]

No plate for me. I haven't had a plate in over six years with zero tickets. *knock on wood

I only jokingly say if I got pulled over for no license plate I'd tell the officer, "It's my dick detector. If I get pulled over for having no license plate I know you're a dick."

My goodness, that sucks.

In the DC and Baltimore area, meter maids just give out parking tickets, thank goodness. Damn, now you're going to go and make me appreciate my area's law enforcement policies.
