Aparently MA can reject you for lowering or raising your car more than 2 in unless it has 4 wheel drive found this out while insearch of plate rules for inspection

Its a real bummer for you folks that live in states that require you to have a plate in the front as well as the back of the car...

I cant even imagine where else you could put it! I guess you also have to find out what the law says about where you cant have it located...

I know I saw on here somewhere about people useing hideaway licanse plate mechanism.... I cant seem to locate it at the moment...I'll keep searching

Maybe, someone will chime in with the know how?

i'd say to make a bracket out of tin and put it down in the front air dam, only problem then is you're gonna block alot of air going into the engine bay keeping things cool. and the plate would be hardly visable, which could be a good and bad thing, lol.

Yeah Justin's show-n-go that he built looks really good. It hides really well especially after he got the whole thing painted black. Not sure if he did a write-up on how to make that or not.

Front plates are so unnecessary IMO. Like I've said before, thank God Michigan doesn't require a front plate.

You guys beat me to my own post! but yeah I think your best option is to do a show n go style plate because the font end really has little options for mounting. I will agree it looks butt ugly sticking out front there. I hate it!

if i can do a show and go without blocking my fogs i might because even having less of a frame around the plate would look better its the most annoying law in MA because they enforce it unlike anti-HID laws
