Never seen what looks like a sticker front plate. Matched the actual plate in the rear.

That's cool.

Somewhat related, I've been wondering why states that require front plates don't allow matching motorcycle-sized plates used as front plates. They could charge a lot and I'm sure people would pay it. They can't argue they are too small since they are big enough for motorcycles.

The GM of the Tesla store just a few miles from our home got the first one in town about a month and a half ago and for whatever reason he had PPF applied to it. Not matte PPF, regular glossy PPF.

That’s cool!

I’m looking at the two kits available now.

Dealer wants to do the work though. They don’t trust me and they want to protect their investment.

The sticker plates are legal in CA; they are/were running a pilot program for them.

They aren’t legal in other states AFAIK, but I’ve seen a few and if you google you can find a bunch of vendors selling them. I wonder whether it actually keeps the owner from getting a ticket

I guess they’re a marginal improvement appearance wise, though they only really work on something like the Tesla that has a big flat face on the bumper. I think they’d look goofy on any of my cars.

Agree that it’s wild that states don’t offer different shapes for more money, though maybe it’s just too logistically complex to be worth it.
