Seems like no more front plate in Texas for now. Driving to work I don't see it at all on Civic Coupe, Mustang, Charger, Challenger, Camaro BMW, Benz, Lexus, 350z, 370z, G35 coupe, G37 coupe, Escalade, and Corvette. I'm in DFW area and no one seems to care.

If he gives you a ticket, how are you going to be fined? Current law states that no punishment is imposed.

So are you saying in Texas. there is no fine for driving without a front
plate. They just issue warning tickets?

Just do as I did and install it with cable ties. That way you don't have to drill holes in your bumper or facia. It will actually channel more air to your radiator instead of blocking the flow. It also gives you a little more downforce. See post #26 above for a view of what it looks like.
