I'd like to move my license plate into the open mouth area on the front of my 97 talon, anyone familiar with ny state laws on license plates? I believe it jsut has to be visible, and with this it isn't 100% visible unless you look at it dead on. Anybody tried this? Any negative results from cops?
Thanks folks.

NYS Traffic law states that you must display 2 number tags on your vehicle at all times, one in the front, one in the rear. How and where it's mounted is usually not as much of an issue as long as it is visible. I ran around with my front in the windshield cuz I had removed my front plate bracket when the car was registered in GA (GA requires only a rear).

Suggestion fab up a bracket to push the plate foward slightly so it's visible from more than just dead on, but you can put it anywhere that it's visible on the front. Oh yeah it's required to have 2 plates for NYS inspection also. Good luck and send pics when you get this mounted it may give other members ideas of how to mount their required front plates.

I wasn't trying to tell him to put it in the windshield just that I had done it temporarily cuz i no longer had the front bracket. I was saying it had to be mounted on the front somewhere visible. I am a licensed NYS inspector, I know the state laws reguarding display of tags, registration sticker, and inspection sticker.

I had it in the windshield for a while (in Missouri) and got stopped because of it. The cop said they do not tollerate plates IN the car due to the danger in case of an accident and it comes flying at you. Just something to think about...

I've known a few people on other forums from new york, who get that grille mesh stuff and they put the plate behind it. It helps conceal it a little bit, but it's still on the front bumper.
