neighborhoods just to check valid regestration.... how strict are they? yes its just a fix it ticket but you're only allowed to do it once. i came outside once, when buying an old car, no plate in the front but it was laying on the dash under the windshield.. and i just caught him before he started to write... recommendation, shave the plate of the "new york" and the bottom, attach a sized license plate holder and clip it in to your mesh grille as low as possible
