Hey! I hope that this isn't too far off topic, but after struggling to keep a front plate holder on one of my 1982 280ZX's (and having little problem on the other), I started to wonder WHY some communities (or is it states?) require that you have a front plate if the state in which you reside only requires a rear one? Here in Delaware we only need a rear plate, but while researching a "Z car drive" going thru New Jersey I was told by members that I was required by local law enforcements along the route to have a front plate.
The only thing I could think of is so they (the police) would be able to use their laser speed enforcement programs (I read that they focus their sites on the front plate of an approaching car). There's gotta be more to it than this... anyone?
