Any method that obscures view of the license plate is illegal. That includes tinted plate covers (ako kasama dyan sa nag-pauso dati) and tilting plate holders.

Of course, what is illegal under the law and actually getting pull over for it on the street is two totally different things in Metro Manila. Just like retrofit HID headlights, ultrabright "fog" lights, tinted front windshields, wangwang on civilian cars, clear brake lights, non standard brake light colors, commemorative plates, to name a few other stuff that is considered "illegal".

bawal yan, tanong lang bakit ka naman maglalagay ng tint sa plate numbers mo? takot ka ba mainitan sila?

Madaming bawal gawain sa mga sasakyan natin. Sa ibang tao kasi pag nakita nilang hindi hinuhuli kahit na bawal ay ok na (puwede na).

Sa listahan sa taas, guilty ako sa tint sa front windshield. Lightest na 3m ang gamit ko sa harap.

reasons:
-color match the plate to the car's color
-iwas color coding
-"style"

What for? The plate has its purpose of IDENTIFYING a car. So why the hell would you want to tilt or put tint over it?

It's a no brainer na bawal talaga ito. Commonsense lang.

You're better way off with a clear "For Registration" sign or no plates with supporting docs than tinted/tilted plates.

Well, the car can still be identified, those with tinted plates simply want to limit how far it can be identified from.
