Did you cut off the top portion of the plate? Would having the entire plate not be visible be legal? I've seen license plate frames which seem to cover significant real estate; wonder if this is any different? A minor point might be that venting through the numbers on the plate could be viewed as "altering the original markings."rawhog said:CA VC says the front plate has to be visible to law enforcement and the public, and the original markings cannot be altered. That's ALL it says about the front plate. So, yes it is legit!
rawhog said:The rest of the plate is there, I just bent it back. I interpret the "alteration" as meaning for example to change a 3 into an 8. Some kind of alteration that would conceal the real identity of the vehicle. Since what you see matches,the rear plate, stickers and registration, I seriously doubt there will ever be an issue. Have been running PT Cruisers with NO front plate for ten years.

That might work but it is still not legal.mogur said:Just bring it with you and leave it in the front windshield when you park...
