Front plate alternatives
California requires front plates and the only vehicles where they don't mess up the front aerodynamics have huge flat bumpers, like SUVs or trucks. Are there any states which allow stickers or even painted on numbers instead of front plates? I believe the primary reason California requires front plates is so that they can identify the car at a red light camera. Personally I'd be perfectly happy to put a sticker on the front bumper, or even the roof, with letters twice as high as the ones on my front plate now. These could be like "rock blockers", so no adhesive and no damage to the paint.
Maybe we should try to convince Arnold (and the other front plate states' governors) to push through an alternate plate number display ordinance, as an emergency measure to save gas? I mean, it makes a lot of sense - the states end up with more cars than now with "front plates" and the drivers would save on gas, at least on the highway.
