In CA we don't have inspection stickers. You need to have your car tested for emissions every few years, and if it passes, they send an electronic communication to DMV--if you don't pass when required, you can't renew your registration. Seems like a better way to handle it than a sticker. And if those stickers are designed anything like the registration renewal stickers that go on CA plates, it's impossible to remove them without destroying them.

I like Florida better. No inspection, no stickers, and they only give you a rear license plate. No front plate.

And we get a lot of junk cars. Some really sorry wrecks are being driven on our Florida roads. Had a junker run a red light yesterday cause his brakes did not work. Fortunately I was in the 6er with good avoidance capability and stayed out of his way. I do believe were I in any other of my vehicles I would have hit him. There should be a way to get unsafe vehicles off the road.

to answer your question, yes. some people bought a small "steel plate" and installed it on the rear license plate frame or right under the bumper. but it's illegal to do so from last year . the dealer put the sticker on and i don't think they are that stupid to cover the pdc sensor .

it has to be on the rear bumper because it's easier for, who else, the cops . they'll give you a ticket if it's expired. it's a very stupid idea. there are so many safety check stickers got stolen every day . people who steal the stickers are most likely the ones have damaged cars (cracked windshield, broken lights, no insurance, etc.). they know they won't pass the safety check so they steal a sticker from other car instead. but if they get pull over, they are in trouble.

no, that is a temporary paper plate. i got the car in june of last year. my baby is almost a year old (this coming wednesday) .

thanks again, rudy ! i'll try wd-40 since i have that at home. but do i need to rejex that area after ?

i also like the stickers on the inside of the windshield and it's been like that in other places for years. but we have the stickers on the rear bumper because it's easier for the cops to pull you over .

it's illegal now but i think i'm going to get that no matter what. if those #$%&ers want to steal the stickers, go ahead and take the whole plate. don't scratch my bumper .

i'm going to get the metal plate like fuenfer mentioned and put it right next to the license plate.

KNow what you should do scan and make a copy and stick the copy on your bumper but keep the original in the car rear windshield. So cops can see it but people wont want to steal a copy.

good idea but not really working that way . the stickers are made out of those reflective materials.

just cleaned the aread with wd-40, very nice and as smooth as just rejexed . but i can't get the metal plate because i've just noticed there are some small scratches around that area . i need to put the stickers on again to cover them . it'll cover most of them but one or two tiny ones :'(.
