RE: Front License Plate
NY requires a front plate.
With that said, my wife's Charger R/T didn't have a frame/bracket on the front bumper when we took delivery, and I have no intention of drilling into the nose to install one on her Charger R/T ........ or on my SRT Challenger.
My wife was "informed" by a NY State Trooper at a "checkpoint" that the front plate was missing. She told the Trooper it was never on the car - there's no frame installed for it. The vehicle was delivered to us by a NY dealership registered with DMV to do inspections, and the car passed their inspection as it sits, as well as a subsequent one from another registered inspection station. She also mentioned (my) working relationship with the State Troopers, mentioned the names of a few of the Troopers I work with regularly, and said they stated they wouldn't "give her a hard time" for a missing plate. This Trooper said he would ticket her if her saw the car without it again.........That was almost two years ago.
I have no intention of mounting the front license plate or having the frame installed at the dealership when it arrives. I'll risk the ticket to keep the car the looking the way it was intended to look.......without a front plate.
