Sweet!

And the infamous headlight washer nozzles to boot!

Great pics!

The black one looks great.

Stupid Mass with the front plates...I'd put my government plates on the 300, but then the front looks real bad (same with my LHS). Guess I'll have to keep my 'green' plate for a few more years.

That's my car! My black 300C with HID's and no sunroof should be in my hands in the next few days. Thanks for posting a teasing picture!! :wink:

Ordered Black 300C on 4/9/04. Your photos are greatly appreciated.

You'll have to post the part number for the bumper strip replacement that gets rid of the plate holder. ;)

no MoonRoof :?:

No moonroof/sunroof for me, no. At 6'5" I need all the headroom I can get. My head rubs on the roof of every car I've ever been in that had a sunroof, and I hate that! I want all the headroom I can get!

[BlackMagnum]

I'm only about 6', but I also can't stand losing the headroom, so I ordered my Magnum RT without one. I'm especially concerned with the high beltline, since the lost space FROM the sunroof might make the car feel even more claustrophobic. This is the first time I've been able to ORDER a car with premium features without one.

I think it just comes off...

I thought I remember someone saying that some states would get them with no front plate holders because they have only one plate.

I drove my '96 Impala SS in California for five years with no front plate, and never had any problems. You can always carry it in the trunk, and if stopped, say the screws fell out and you are on the way to buy new ones at the parts store.

I agree....I have driven around alot w/out a front plate in NY on my Intrepid and was never bothered.

[BlackMagnum]

Northern California is ok without a front plate, except in San Francisco, where they agressively enforce the front plate law. With traffic camera enforcement in "The City", there's a lot of money on the line.

I'm picking my car up in Ohio for the trip back to California. Ohio is considering a law to do away with front plates. Does anyone know if that's been passed? Will my Ohio car come with a front plate holder?

St. Louis , Missouri also enforces HAVING a front plate.

On my '04 Sebring ragtop I keep the second "red" plate in the trunk. I tell my wife to say (if they stop her) that she was going to the car wash.

If the front plate bracket is like the one on the 300M, it is supplied with the vehicle and installed by the dealer. "Yup, looks centered to me. Drrriiiilll, Drrriiilll. You now have two fresh holes in your front valance." Aaaarrrrrggggghhhh!! :twisted:

For you folks in 2 plate states (like me), I recommend telling your dealer, BEFORE your 300 arrives, NOT to install the front plate bracket. The bracket covers part of the grill the same as the 300M plate bracket. Whoever engineered the plate bracket location needs to be retrained or fired.

I recommend getting a nice chrome plate frame and mounting it on the front valance where YOU want it, below the bottom of the grille. This is what I did with my 300M and what I will do with my 300C.

Or, you could just leave it off... :lol: :P
