Yeah partly I think. He did comment on how nice it looked. He liked the Tuffy underseat storage as well and mentioned what a great place that would be to stash a handgun. This was after I told him that I was going for my proof of insurance and sloooowly opened it.

Most peeps just throw them up against the windshield its enough to keep you legal...
The bumper looks really good without the damn license plate.

It's currently riding in the floorboard.....really why is this necessary? The actual registration is a sticker on the windshield right? What's the front plate for?

Lucky,

Here they would give you a ticket for sure, and then go over the rest of your vehicle to see if anything else merits a ticket.. Some times they will even measure your track width vs frame heights to see if your vehicles is too tall for its wheel base.. or check for fluid leaks, missing mud flaps etc...

Tomb-

Glad to see a home boy testing the waters for me. Was that the Snohomish police that pulled you over? I wasnt sure what the laws is, and assume everything I want to do is illegal.

Yeah Snohomish, got stopped on Bickford on the way to get ice cream with the fam. I've passed many local police in the past and haven't had issues. No biggie though, easy fix and now my National Park plates are more visible!

Put it on your windshield inside the dash. Most cops fire there lasers at your plates (unless its the wave kind) . I got pulled over in my xj i need mud flaps for my 31s. Made me giggle. No ticket just warning
