Chicago blows for having no front plate. The popo checks cars when they're parked on the street or in lots and gives tickets. I always seem to get the tickets at a certain courthouse (I'm an attorney, not a defendant). The tow hook plate holder is actually a great idea for me so I can just put the plate on when I'm parked. I've never gotten a ticket while driving for just no front plate.

He essentially put some rare-earth magnets on the back of a cut-down bracket, plastidipped the whole thing, and put another set of magnets on the inside of the bumper. When he needed to use the plate, he just put it in the right spot and it held.

Agreed. I register out of state to avoid this, but I saw a page where a guy describes his solution, which I thought was elegant.

NY is now proposing a law in which if you have tint on your windows your car will fail inspection.
Anyway, I bought that tow hook plate for $70 for my TL as I got the front end redone and wanted no holes. I will see how it looks when it comes to me. I don't think it would look nice on the A6, I would have gotten the swift plate for my TL but my car is dropped on coilovers and I would rip that thing off.
