i was bored this morning so i took my toolbox outside and removed my front license plate and the holder.
i realized alot of ppl on e60 has it removed too, has anyone got pulled over yet?
it sure makes the car look hell alot better..

diy instructions:
1) remove the screws
2) remove your license plate holder
3) done yay
4) kewl?
I always roll no front plate, I can only think of 1 time, when I was a teenager, I got a ticket for it while driving, and also once now here in Denver when some metermaid left me a parking ticket. :thumbsdown:

Small price to pay, in over 20 years of driving, for looking good!

Good DYI project!

The only time I've had any issues with the "law" are driving through small towns near my city.

Have you considered Bumper Plugs? These are commonly associated with Porsche to cover up the drill holes on the bumper.
You must be talking about Ferris or Palmer TX, they'll just plain pull you over, they dont need reason over there, JERKS!!! Been pulled over a couple times by them bums on my way to Denton

haha

I did the same thing once. It's not worth it to me here in RI. They look for things like that to pull you over. I'll live with my ugly front plate. I wish I still lived in MA...I miss my Red Sox plates!

Haha Copper Canyon actually. The town's so small that they don't even have their own police dept. I avoid driving through there at all costs.
