And both warnings were during seat belt checks or road blocks - I've never actually been pulled over for it. I've driven many cars in the past with no front plate - it looks cooler, especially on nice performance vehicles. I did it with my vette, mustang cobra, iroc, etc, and never a ticket yet.
So don't waste your money on this spary for the front plate. They don't need from plate to still tag you on the radar.

Laser. The front plate is the target for laser. It's an excellent light reflector as that's what it's designed for. There's nothing, save stealth technology, that'll make you invisible to radar!
I too took off my front plates, they detract from the looks of the car (in fact, if you look at SOME cars, they block a huge amount of the cooling air!), any car. We parked at Burbank airport for a week, and came back to a ticket for not having the plate. Airport security systems utilize the front plates for ID now, and they're starting to have kittens about it. I folded, they're on the cars now because I got tired of worrying about it.

Re: I want a radar detector mounted in front grill connected to Onstar speaker - how??
I have a funny coincidence. I just got a $109 ticket for no front plate today - same f'en cop gave me another $109 ticket for having the front windows tinted. Its been 15+ years since I got busted for these things - the cops usually pick on the teens for these.
On the positive side, the cop said if I removed the tint and installed the front plate in the next 24 hrs (and came back to show him) that he would cancel the tickets. So I relucantly did, and sure enough he canceled them. Now I got to get used to no tint in the front (looked good, but oh well).
Though now that I have to have a front plate, I bought one of the LED message plate frames which came be programmed to have any message scroll across (I got two - one for front and one for back). I currently have a message scrolling that says:
hybrid . . NOT!
That message above just keeps scrolling. I can program up to 5 saved messages each up to 250 digits. Give me some other funny and good ideas.
Thanks

Too cool, where'd you get the frame?
By the way, that same cop will sit there and let motorcycles with straight pipes drive by all day long. I'm bettin' that one drove by while you got a ticket! Why aren't they enforcing the law on those annoying POSs?

ooooh!
I am so tempted to get that Calibre DL K40 system. SOOO dang tempted. The only way the wife (who is known for having a leadfoot) willuse a radar detector is if its something like this. If I have to count on her actually plugging something in like a portable one, she'll never even bother.
