I was wondering, if cutting the bottom of the license plate off would be illgeal? It would be right after the numbers, therefore only cuttin off usless 2 inch's of blank space. I know, it might very from state to state, but any body have some input?
cutting the license plate ??? - 6G Celicas Forums
I was wondering this myself for the front plate. Why do I need 2 inch's on white space blocking airflow into my car. And then, why do I have to broadcast that i'm from Wisconsin on the front when its clearly visible on the back. The numbers are whats important anyway, and if I just had numbers, no extra, then the front plate wouldn't be too bad. I'd just tuck it a little under the lip and have a 1&1/2 inch plate of just numbers. Just a thought. I have no clue whether its legal or not. My brother is a cop and I plan to ask him. I've known many people who have bent the plate after the numbers so its not so .... blockable. I'll let you know. WOW I TYPED ALOT.

yes, its is very very illegal. It doesnt vary with state... altering anything that is federal or state issued to the point where it not still in its original form is illegal.
Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
anything resticting view of the ENTIRE plate is illegal, TECHNICALLY by the word of the law you can get pulled over for license plate covers. nor can you paint or tint a plate.
Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
Yes it is illegal. You can bend it but just don't get caught >

I dont use the front license plate. I do carry it in my car just in case I do get pulled over, I can tell them that one of the bolts came undone and it was just hanging there, so i took it off. Hope it works.
ha i carry mine in my trunk so i can say im driving to a friends house to have him put it on for me - cuz i can get away with that cuz im a girl! :-D

I thought WA state doesnt require the front plate Natalie?? I dont carry mine w/ me. Then again maybe you are talking about the back plate hmmm

They do...I've been pulled over a few times for those times when I didn't have the front plate on.
One time I asked the officer if I could cut the plate to make it fit in the grill, and he said that'd be fine. So it's been cut for a while...cops around here don't care if it's cut it seems, because they never harass me over that. 6GC.net window stickers, on the other hand, are big trouble and could cause severe accidents(according to cops.) >

The itty bitty window stickers? Wow, i better take mine off before i cause a multi car pile up. >> They just try and get us for anything.
> They just try and get us for anything.
I was more talking about the rear plate. I dont have to front one on. I have it in my car, but I havnt used one in Md for over 2 years. never had a problem. I might not cut it anyways, What i was thinking, might just look a lil funny. I was gunna make a retractable arm that would sit right under my rear bumper. but i think even with cutting it, its going to sit to low. I think im just going to mold it into the bumper without cutting, thats guys for the feed-back though.
I have an idea. What if u use plexi glass for the rear panel and smoke it? Have your plates behind the plexi with some strong light so its visible while the car is on. No? n/m
i so want one so bad >

i dont know if your excuse for the front plate being off will work. If you bump into a bitchy cop. they will say what is illegall is illegal. So even when you do not have the plate up front for 20 seconds is illegal.
I have cases of that before. So just becarefull.

I put two 6gc stickers on my car- but I'm regretting it. the one on the pass side makes my car look really bad- like it's going backwards
