Sorry about the werid subject but really didnt know how to describe this license plate cover.

I saw this licesne plate cover that was clear, appered to be normal except when you looked at it from an angle, the numbers looked blurry.

Its this werid little ridgity makes it hard to read but isn't as obviosu as those blue and smoked licesne plate holders.

Was looking for one of these in tornoto...

any ideas?

ebay is the easiest way to go
also they are illegal.

AggressiveAdam

I search plate holder and couldn't find any of the ones I was talkin about.


acually all license plate covers are illegal, even the clear ones.

you can have a frame but no plastic covering the plates.

I dont want these to avoid getting a ticket, its more the fact that I have a silver 7th gen, and blue/smoke holders look rice on it

The one your talking about is there... and the one your talking about is ment to block the plate numbers from above cameras (ie 407 cameras, redlight cameras, photorader...) etc...

dont get caught

(btw the spray doesnt work with the new cameras ei 407 etc...)

AggressiveAdam

I acually dont use the 407, but might consider randomly using it now :P

Woudl this also make it harder for people to read my plates too?

thanks guys just ordered one. Im going to try out the 407 as soon as I get it :P

mattharper

id use it, but u think you'd still be able to read the plat at night when the police are behind you with thier headlights shinning on it??

AggressiveAdam

yO

Let us know how it goes for the 407.... (Cops are reading this as we type) haha

imported_My93Civic

My familys 98 Accord has been rocking the clear plate covers since 1998 and no tickets for it.

Why the hell are clear ones illegal? LOL.

nashall

ive had the black tinted cover on my plates for like 3 years...no problems...just doing my part on keeping my plates clean

AggressiveAdam

the clear ones are probably illegal to cover things like this


Im leaving the country for new years be nice to get across to the border via the 407, probably use it for a month then sell it.

@ $30 you cant go wrong

imported_Hybridtheory

beats the hell outta me...

I bought 2 clear plate covers @ a MTO office

eventually got a ticket for them, brought the plate covers in to court, along with the reciept from the mto, and it got thrown out

imported_Team Rukus

nope actually they arent illegal.
because the ministry of transportation (drive test)
sells them.
they are there to protect ur plates from corroding.
the ones ur talking about are illegal but not all covers are.

imported_Team Rukus

and there is no law that states it either all its saying is it cant be obstructed and thats it.

imported_rbjeepthing

Anything infront of a plate can be deemed as obtruction you be the one who argues with the cops.

98siG

AggressiveAdam
