Re: finished my car finally, im guessing 99% of ppl here will hate it tho

Definately a well worked job. Alot of time and effort went into that. Very clean.

BTW Tom, even if you have the plate in the window it is still illegal. Regardless of how YOU think about it, the law states that it has to be securely fastened to the front of the vehicle. It must also have nothing in front of it whether or not the material is clear.

Here is the part of the statute:

Statute 169.79

Subd. 7. Plate fastened and visible. All plates must
be securely fastened so as to prevent them from swinging. The
person driving the motor vehicle shall keep the plate legible
and unobstructed and free from grease, dust, or other blurring
material so that the lettering is plainly visible at all times.
It is unlawful to cover any assigned letters and numbers or the
name of the state of origin of a license plate with any material
whatever, including any clear or colorless material that affects
the plate's visibility or reflectivity.

If you have any other questions about it, you can research it further here; http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/stats/169/79.html .

Basically it has to securely fastened outside of the vehicle. Whether or not it is clearly displayed in the front window, it is still behind the glass. If you don't like it, buy a 20 year old car and get collector plates for it.
