I do love my Frozen Grey. After a hard day at work when I get home and open the garage it's always nice to see that rear

What color is yours? Any pics?

Bought the stoNsho and had it mounted in about 20 min.
The PoPo are looking more revenue since there's less people on the road.

Here is the Post I followed
Sto N Sho - Removable Front License Plate https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1233892

I am a huge fan of the StoNSho! Great product, well made, perfectly centered and very durable. Pull the pin and it is gone in 1 second.

In Texas it’s just a reason to be pulled over by Leo.
No real laws broken, just a reason to be pulled over. Law states the front plate is to be mounted on the front of the vehicle, no fines are involved. The drivers that throw their front plate on the dash in front of their windshield are not following the law.

I’ve been pulled over once in 10 years without a front plate. When asked where my front plate was I told the officer it was in the car trunk.

Yeah I just can't stand being pulled over. It ruins my whole day even if I don't get an actual ticket. Not sure it's just the old kid in me feeling like I'm in the principals office after being busted for something...

I’ve been pulled over about a half dozen times in Texas for missing front license plate. Always by DPS, never by Austin PD. In fact, got pulled over a year apart by the same trooper driving from Austin to South Padre Island. Fortunately, only a warning each time. I just got sick of driving in “fear” waiting to be pulled over for something so trivial. StoNSho solves the problem while allowing ultra easy removal for photos.

I guess? I'm 37, been driving here for 20 years, never had a front plate on any car. I'd guess I've had at least 25-30 cars in that time. Never once pulled over for missing a front plate. I've been pulled over plenty of times for speeding, but they never mentioned the plate. Maybe I'm an outlier but seems like a non-issue to me. I'll continue without a front plate till I'm told otherwise, looks so much better.

The plate on the dash is a decapitation waiting to happen.

Yeah I had that on my GT 350 R. Good unit.

This tow hook model one has quick detach for washing etc but then you've got a look at the post. Yours is less conspicuous when the plate is off.

I'm not gonna take the plate off regularly, just for track use in case I need to use the tow hook God forbid.

Can spin that post out in about 10 seconds Then pop the plastic plug back in and back to stock Or ready for the real tow hook.
