I've never heard of this but I came across it last night and thought I would share. Apparently it's legal in CA and I guess it's a big discussion group on the Tesla forums. Check out licenseplatewrap.com. Apparently, it's basically a printed "wrap" version of your license plate that's legal and recognized in CA as long as you purchase through this company on a "pilot" program basis.
The front bumper design of the Supra doesn't really lend itself to looking good with a large US license plate no matter where you put it; whether in the middle as it's designed to go or off to the left using the tow hook space.
This could be an option where you have to use a front plate but don't want to have it mounted. I guess you could place it right on the nose. I'm not saying that this will look good because I think a large license plate size sticker right on the front and tip of the nose will look silly but maybe it could be the lesser of two evils. Either use the mounting bracket for the center or use this vinyl wrap....or use the tow hook method....or just not even use a front plate and roll the dice.
I think I would have to roll the dice because I'm not really into any of these "solutions." It just sucks because I'm planning on getting the car in red and obviously that stands out more and attracts more attention from the cops. Plus, I want to get the car tinted. I would most likely do 40% or 35% on the rear window and 50% on the side windows. Not extremely dark but when you factor in a red car with no front plates, I know that I'm running some bad odds with the cops.
