Really?
I think CT is now requiring a front plate after many years of not. I'm leaving it off until I find out what it costs.

Radar reflects off the reflective material the plates are painted/made with easier than they do paint. That's also why if you see a picture with a bright flash the plates turn out to be bright white.

actually, radar guns view a light source (headlight, foglights etc) before bouncing off every other thing. Thats why you see a lot of cops doing radar traps at night.

I was wondering if anyone in Mass knew the law restrictions to car modding... like how far off the ground you need to be, if you can have a blowoff valve, how loud your exhaust can be, etc... and if not, where I could get such information... thx :wacko:

Wasn't there a tuner mag like HCI, Sport Compact car, Super street, that put out what legal/illegal for each state. I can't remember which one had that article.
