awww man...i was fine with just paying a fix it ticket but if it's going to go on my record as a moving violation, i figure i might as well just suck it up and put the front plate on.

hey zumnwrx where are you getting all this info? cause i know a cop and i was talking to him about this and he says a fix it ticket wont give you "points" on ur record so it wont mess you up. unless the fix it ticket is hazerdess (like no headlights, cracked window) and no front plate is not hazerdess. also he said its up to the city on cost cause in berkely they used to charge 25 dollers now they only charge 10 dollers for a fix it ticket, so he thinks its up to the city not the county wht they charge. so i was wondering where you got this info? cause i would tend to belive a cop more than you, but i dunno. no offense to you im not meaning to be an *** if it seems so.

I am very sure it's NOT a moving violation, but I never really mind being wrong. Please - if you have some actual facts, pass them along - it would be useful.

It was one of a whole line of cars in a residential neighborhood in stockton with curbs just like that. The cops just went right down the street ticketing cars parked on the sidewalk.
I'm not judging how you park, just giving a heads up.

I don't like the way the front plate looks on an Impreza either. The mounting position is like an afterthought for a U.S. market that requires it. It completely ruins the aggressive lower grille opening. I don't like the way that the screws have to 'thread' into the plastic bumper cover.
I just leave it on while driving (removed for pics sometimes, though) to avoid the hassle of possibly being pulled over.

I woulda - but I have been busy trying to see if this is a moving violation or not. Which I am sure it's NOT.
