Got my personal plates. What do you think?

BFord1 · Oct 7, 2017

I've always gone without front plates and just dealt with it (warnings, tickets, etc.) I hate the way front plates look. But, when I traded my GT500 on this GT it already had the bracket on the front so I decided to get vanity plates and run a front plate. At first I was going to put PROCHRG or something related to the supercharger. I thought COYOTE would be cool but was already taken. Then I remembered the TV show Hardcastle and McCormick when I was a kid and they ran a COYOTEX plate on their car.
So far several people seem to think it says COYO TEX. (I suppose that's at first glance seeing they're Texas plates.) I may just get tired of explaining it and change the plates back. Car was dirty from all the rain but I took a quick picture with the new plates anyway.

Here were my last two Stangs before the silver GT. They look much better without the front plates don't they?
I kinda miss 'em. I thought I wanted to go with an auto as I use it as a daily and I'm getting old I guess. The GT is an auto and very fast. But, I've already started to miss banging gears.

So lucky I live in a state that doesn't require a front license plate! I personally don't like how they look.

New Jersey here. While I know it's requires, I don't run one. I haven't run one for 2 years. And my jeep has the front plate in the windshield for the past 5 years.

Never had any issue even when pulled over

I didn't run a front plate on my '05 for years and didn't run a plate on my '15 for a while, but now I do. Got pulled over without a ticket in the '05 once for no front plate, but I decided to run plates because I figure if we go out for dinner and have a couple of beers I don't need the police to have a reason to pull me over. Eat dinner and drink 2 IPA's could easily cause problems I'd rather not deal with.

If you are worried about how much you've had to drink, don't drive. If you can feel two, only have one.

My first reaction......ugh....poor bastard w front plate required. Then I read your whole post....still can't get it in my head why state requires a front plate.

Front plates are for traffic cameras so they can catch you speeding and running red lights.

I get special interest plate in Nebraska to not have a front plate.
