i herad they were illegal like a year ago.......

but i still have my smoke colour on. i think the law is as long as your license plate is visible.

From what I heard, you're only allowed the CLEAR ones.
As for the blue tint one... I heard the cops can give you a ticket for that, if they wanted to...
For the smoke tint, I heard that's illegal, cuz it's too dark...
... Red? I haven't seen a red one. But I'm guessing that's illegal too! Every lil' thing nowadays seems to be illegal in some way!

well... my last visit at the ministry of transportation... they were selling the blue ones for $12 a piece... so that can be ur argument to the cop...??

I've had my blueish tint on my rear plates and I've been pulled over a few times and yet no ticket for them. I got tickets for my muffler and speeding but never for plate covers yet. As for it being illegal or legal, I know for sure that they are illegal. I just wonder why I never got a ticket for it yet. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

checked it out for ya!! my buddy is a cop and drives a sick white type R....... as long as its not too dark its not illegal.....as long as your plate is always visible...

You can get a ticket if your plate isnt visible say becuase of tooooo much dirt or SALT in this crappy weather....but thats only if they want to be jerks

jer2k · 12-05-2002

oldskool · 12-05-2002

ya i gots blue ones....been pulled over 3x with them as well....andnothing

I've got em too, and when I got pulled over last, the cop said he would be NICE and not give me a ticket for my license plate covers, and that I should take them off. Before that, nothing, and nothing since. Just depends on the cop I guess. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I have blue ones, but they've faded over the yeras and almost look clear now. Been pulled over a few times, but I've yet to get a ticket for them.

Besides, Canadian Tire sells them.. I haven't seen those guys sell anything illegal yet for the cars. If so, you can always get them to pay for your ticket, or sue them.. yes, you can milk them for money.. I've done it before! ($350)

A guy I know in London had the Blue one's and got a ticket. Needles to say, I didnt' want to take the chance so I bought the clear one for the rear. The front one is uncovered so maybe i'll get a smoked one.
