When I use to have an MR2... I zip tie my plate in front of the radiator. I think you can probably zip tie it to the front grill of your evo instead of drilling hole or glue or the 3M double sided tape. The only thing is that you will not get as much air to the intercooler

 

I have mine zip tied to the mesh on the driver side of the intercoller and the other side i duno i think its just kinda bent in there. It is not covering the intercooler no more then 1/4 inch. So basically not covering it at all.

if you have the factory brackets, just mount it,show them,and take it off if you want

 

I wouldn't consider it them stealing as much as I'd consider it you donating money to them. Or are the laws not published where you're at?

Also, yes speeding 5-10 over the speedlimit is uh well speeding. Do 10 over in a 20 around here and you can get pegged for being reckless.

 

This man knows.

 

Here's a really good option I found for you...

I feel your pain. After a similar run in with Johnny Law I decided to use magnets to secure my plate to my front bumper. Well it's been over 6 months, and I've been through blizzards and monsoons...never fallen off once. Also tested up to 120mph (closed course) without worry. Best part is I can pull it right off without effort.

 

Take a pic of the car w the liscence plate on....

Drive a different car or get dropped off at court....

show the judge that you have the plate on

hope not to get pulled over again!

 

yup got pulled over here for it. ziptied it on and cut it off after the police sign off

 

double side tape

 

Just put the damn bracket on. It doesn't look that bad.

 

I have been pulled over a few times for no front plate... no fix it tickets, nothing.. just "you should really have one on there"

Guess I have been luckier than most!

 

Here in Virginia 2 plates are required, however, I haven't had a chance to follow up with the DMV yet but I heard from somewhere if you register your car as a sports car only 1 plate is required.

Has anyone else heard this?

 

shame on you trying to cheat the system like that, what about just placing it on the windshield from the inside?
