Anti laser license plate covers

[John Larson <jdlarson@ix.netcom.com>]

I'm unaware of the laws in most states, but in California it is against
the law to put any kind of cover, clear, smoked, or otherwise, over a
license plate, or any other object which obscures or partially obscures
the visibility of that plate. Furthermore, you have to have both a front
and rear plate FIRMLY affixed to the car. It is also illegal to install
any kind of material over the headlights, like those slick covers found
on the 904, and sold aftermarket for the 240/260Z cars. I believe the
904 is actually exempt by a "grandfather clause". I'm not sure about the
stone guard materials recently discussed on the list. These laws aren't
always enforced, but they're there when the friendly officer needs them.
I don't think it would look all that good noted on a laser enforcement
speeding ticket.
I'd probably check my state's laws before installing something like
this. No sense giving them another excuse to stop you.
Just my $.02, John
