Porsche beautification idea

[tomk17]

I live in Massachusetts which is a 2 plate state. The state is in transition from the rear plate only (green) to front/rear plates (red). When I picked the car up my dealer gave me a great tip "unofficially". I went out and bought a cheap $5 plastic plate bracket. I mounted the front plate to it but did not screw the bracket onto the car. I then broke the plastic bracket and I keep it in the front trunk. If I get stopped my line is" I just came out of the mall yesterday and found the broken plate on the ground - see, here is the broken one. I have a new Porsche mounting plate on order". I betting I can pull it off if I'm stopped. I even smudged some dirt on the plate. Hate to be sneaky but the front of my car looks great without it. PS: I did need to mount the plate with some very small screws to get the annual inspection sticker.

It won't work. Been there, done that, they gave me a fix-it ticket for it anyway. After the second time being stopped by the cops I gave up.

A co-worked had Geico insurance and his rates went up as a result of his three fix-it tickets for the plate being missing. No points, just a fine, but it was reported to insurance and they jacked his rates. Great stuff.
