Default got pulled over for no front plate and cover over rear plate, got off with warning...>>

I just washed the car, went to a very empty section of a mall parking lot, I saw a cop patrolling the parking lot and he must have noticed me walking around my car as if I was scoping it out to steal it since there are so many stolen cars or cars broken into this time of the year during the holiday shopping. I noticed the cop left the mall area. 5 mins later I decided to leave and I spot the cop tucked in on a side residential street probably doing whatever since its a 25mph speed zone. Cop sees me drive by him and then pulls out behind me. I thought I may have been speeding but I was only doing 30mph which is ok I guess. But the lights go on, I pull over...yada yada yada...ask me where my front plate is?...I say to him, "well I bought the car used, it must have been a car from a state that did not require a front plate and I did not want to drill holes in my front body"...cop says with a smile, "oookaaaay"...then ask about the cover over my rear plate, I say..."well I wanted to keep the plate nice and clean"...cop says again, "oookaaaay"..."hows your license?"...me, "clean".
Cop runs my info, comes back and says to me, "NJ requires a front plate, zip tie one on somehow and take the rear cover off. have a nice day."

I guess this is my thankful gift from the cop for thanksgiving?...or my license is soooo damn clean :-)

Default glue two magnets under the plate cover...

and then glue the polar opposite magnet on the back of the plate.

(infact it may work with out the second set of mags - but will work great with both sets)

do a search - it should show.

Default I would love to run w/o front plate, pop out that lower grill cover too. >>

Show that big-*** FMIC.
But.....it's a no no.

Let's see how many more regulations we can come up with in the near years ahead......
