Or.... just don't put your front plate on. I not only hate the way it destroys the looks of the car but I can't stand the premise behind this states blatent excuse for retarted revenue collection. Like we don't have enough already!

I pass many a cop and I have not once been pulled over for no front plate. In the odd occurance that I DO get pulled over let's say, 2 or even 3 times a year (unlikely) for no front plate, then paying the what is it?.... $35 bucks each time won't bother me one bit.

I did get a speeding ticket recently and only AFTER I already signed the ticket AND ONLY because there was another cop walking around the car did he alert the ticketing officer and because I was unloading my usual chipper wit with the ticketing donut muncher, he decided to add no front plate to the charge. Anyway, I drove down to the donut shop, put 2 tiny pieces of velcro on both the plate and my bumper (because I am not about to drill any holes), stuck the plate on, walked in and had the cop come out and sign off the ticket (for the front plate charge). I then proceeded to walk over to my car, rip the plate off, toss it in the front seat and drive off (in full view of the bakers dozen).

So do whatever you want.

Same here..I have never ran a front license plate on any of my sports cars and so far, so good. I will be sad if I ever have to put the front one on
