Ticket for no front license
I have had my Raptor for 3 years now and have never run a front plate. With a custom SVC front bumper and light bar, I didn't want to mess up the clean look. Well about two weeks ago as I drove up in my Sequoia, I noticed an envelope under my drivers windshield wiper on my Raptor that was parked in front of my house on the street.
It was a ticket from our local police department for $40 for not displaying a front plate. I have always had it in my console. Soooo I started playing with ideas for a clean flexible mount that wouldn't get tore off or look like shit.
I decided to go with a similar rear plate design I have on my boat. It is hard plastic that flexes backwards as I pull my submerged boat trailer out of the water. This has worked perfect for 7 years.
I jumped on Amazon and found a few that looked like they would work and ordered them. I got two that looked like they might give me the look and flex I was wanting. My next issue is I wanted to be clean and easy to remove when doing long off road runs. I decider to drill/tap two 1/4 20 holes and use allan type heads painted Red.
Once installed I asked my neighbor who is a CHP to sigh off my ticket, so I would only have to pay $10.
So far I like the look and it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would
Here is a picture of what I did, I don't care if my Lic numbers show. I have nothing to hide
