For those who have to use one. I have to use because Texas says...plus I work on a military installation; it's just not worth the potential hassle with each gate entry.

This thing is a perfect fit. No rubbing on bumper what-so-ever. ZERO sensor interruption as have tested it multiple times. The set up is adjustable in four directions, and still has room to go further left toward passenger side (not that it's needed as sensor works perfectly).

The best part is...it may be very under priced. And no. I'm not affiliated with the seller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/276168786313

Do they actually check your front license plate at the gate? I live near a huge military installation, located in a state that does not require front license plates. Pretty sure they don't look at the front plates, since 90% of the cars don't have front plates.

by the way, does the tow hook plate holder affect the sensitivity of the park distant sensor to its right at all?

Thanks!

I’m in Washington which requires front plates. I just keep mine wedged between my dash and my windshield. No one has bothered me about it. I’m not sure about military though.

Thankfully no issue what-so-ever w the sensor or it'd be 100% no go! And yes. Here, since front plate is required, the gate guards will be all over that! Some anyway, and just not worth any hassle. I'm ok with the look of it as have lived w the two plate thing for 30+ years.

I moved to a no-front-plate state about 15 years ago. The freedom of having a clean front bumper with no screw holes has kept me here. If I ever move to another state, it will also have to be a no-front-plate state. (unless the state in question is Hawaii)

Have never had a front plate on my car in a front plate required state....sorry, but if your local cops actually are worried about this...they aren't actually doing their jobs. It's 2023....go fight some crime. There is plenty around everywhere.

I have always wondered about that. If 37 years ago I picked a career in law enforcement, I could probably pull over at least 50 people during each 8-hour shift. With the way people are driving these day, 100+ tickets per days would be easy. Just this morning, at least two people turned left from the right lane at a red light. Then there was this lady who didn't stop at a 4-way stop intersection, but had the balls to honk at drivers who honked at her. Imagine if I got a nice 10% cut from each ticket written, I would have been a multi-millionaire by age 40.

In the parking lot now and wow... nobody is stopping at the the stop sign entering the street. In a couple of years, I'll probably finally be so old and just sit at my front porch to yell at bad drivers.


Oh... speaking of front license plates. While I love it when there's no front license plate on my cars, it did cause a problem when someone hit me and ran off. The other car also had no front plates, so they managed to escape my dashcam.
