Default RS5 Front License Plate Pictures

I moved and am saddled with a front license plate (NJ). I would love to see different pictures of owners solutions for an RS5 front plate.

OP, I see that you were probably from Philly. Judging by that.. you should just keep a P.O. Box in Philly with a mail forwarding service. And keep the car registered in PA since PA doesn't require a front plate. My car is registered and driven in NJ. I just keep my fingers crossed. Never had a problem with not having a front plate. I don't think cops will really care about no front plate as much as dark tints(which I also have lol). I say best option is the PO box route. I think I will also eventually do that if I have problems with local LE in regards to my front plate or tints.

Default Constrained by State and Parking Regs...

Our parking security system at the University requires both a front and rear plate, or they issue tickets. Also, the automatic gates will not rise unless the sensors read your front plate. I went with the traditional location, but used a Weather Tech Frame that picks up the red highlights in the wheels…

Happy Motoring

Eric

I saw one of these installed on a RS7 at the Audi dealership here in Fort Collins




There appear to be many on the market and some are motorized.

But I digress.

And BTW, disappearing license plates are probably illegal. Still, it would be fun to have them on the back for those speed cameras. But if you're astute enough to toggle the plate down before a camera you can probably control your speed enough to forego the speeding ticket.

I considered the "Show & Go" but I've heard of stories where if not properly secured and left in the hidden position, highway speeds can draft and rip the plate holder off. Losing both the holder and the plate in the process.

Another hazard, if left hidden is those cement parking stop slabs. Thereby ripping the plate holder and front diffuser if not careful.

Totally agree - they are not for me.

Yeah stupid rule in some states to have a front License plate.

NO MAN!!! I would not want one on my car NO! I might rather pay the ticket then mess up the front grill with a stupid License plate. I hate it.

I don't see any good options NONE.

Slightly off-topic: why do people find the need to obscure their license plate when posting pictures? Never quite understood that.
