Well.. need an inspection sticker...
So this has to happen..
My buddy does inspections but because of the cameras the old front plate is going back on to the old grille.. gonna do a temporary grille swap..

Re: Well.. need an inspection sticker...
Why do you like to have a plate on there sometimes? You like to show the old “Heartbeat” plate like a dealership would have?
I think it looks very period correct with the Heartbeat plate..

Re: Well.. need an inspection sticker...
Mass probably won’t allow no safety inspection and they are maniacs about having two plates.
They have a year of manufacture form for RMV and you can put classic plates on except for the 80s green letter plates because in the 80s there was only a rear plate..
The reasoning is because of the new automatic tolls that use your front plate to send you a bill..
If I have an eZpass transponder that should suffice, but yes typically they can give you a ticket..
My play would be:
”Just got the car painted and a new grille put on, there’s no holes for a plate”
”Car gets driven 1000-1500 Miles/year to shows and cruise nights only”
Then I would install the plate with the old grille, snap photos, and they’ll let you off in court if you comply quickly..
At that point I guess I’d have to run a front plate.. maybe be a grille swapper like Arnold..

No inspections in FL either!!
Since I'm hating this Ford F150 I bought, I'm thinking about putting my USA-1 plate on the front. That should **** off the Ford faithful. BTW, I'm also thinking about getting a vinyl sticker for the tailgate that says, "I wish I was driving a Chevy"

Your Ford rant on that other thread was classic!

Re: Well.. need an inspection sticker...
i'm getting ready to go through this same scenario , VA requires a front plate. i don't really want to drill holes in my grill or bumper and don't have a spare grill so i used some neodymium magnets to mount the front plate. pops off and goes back on in seconds

Re: Well.. need an inspection sticker...
In NJ, no more inspections for vehicles 95 and older. Only 96 and newer need to have an inspection sticker and they do not check safety only emissions by plugging into the OBD port. No codes you pass.
