Hey guys,
I just moved down to Irvine from Hollywood. Trying to get a feel for how strict cops are on enforcing the front license plate law. In LA it's pretty common to get tickets from parking enforcement as well as getting pulled over by cops for no front plate. Because of this, I actually left my dealer sticker on the bottom of the windshield (it's been there for 19 months). That way, cops see me coming and think my car is brand new.
Anyway, I'm thinking of taking the dealer sticker off b/c it's pretty ugly. Wondering if there are any people out there that live in Irvine (or close by in the OC) that could share their front plate experiences.
thanks!

Just so I understand. Metal tag is too ugly for BMW. Dealer sticker is ????
FYI update: dealer sticker was removed a few months ago and there have been no problems. On several occasions there's even been a cop perched and waiting to pull people over for not coming to a full stop at a stop sign near my house and I still have not been pulled over for no plate. Knock on wood, I think OC is a bit more relaxed about no front plates than LA.
