Not in Cali. There are specific VC sections with penalties for using fab's substitutes no matter how well they match the original. Check your local laws to be sure.

I'm not planning on putting mine on here in NY. I just can't bring myself to do it. I'll say the painter lost the bracket if I'm stopped and cross my fingers.

I have been diving without a front plate all over this country for the last 40 years. Every state I lived in required a front plate. I have been stopped at least 40x over these years and not once has a police officer bothered me about the front plate. They have bothered me about going to fast, rolling through stop signs, and little stuff, but never the front plate issue. The police alwasy do want to see your reg & ins and thats usually it. Hope this helped. T

Mine's got the holes so I plan to put it on...just trying to make sure I get a white plate and not the puke orange NY plates...

I got a $100 ticket in Oregon this summer for no front license plate. I hate to put one on, but I probably will. If I ever get stopped again, they'll see that ticket and likely give me another (larger) ticket.

Oregon has photo radar and photo red lights, so they really want you to have a front license plate.

No front plate required here in Arizona. In fact when I registered the two 'normal' family cars two months ago when we moved here the DMV only gave me one plate for each car.

I wonder if when I drive through a state that requires a front and rear plate if I can be cited? How would I explain that I was only issued one plate for the rear?

I just made up a threaded plug for the front tow hook port, tapped the centre out and screwed in a post that I mounted the front bracket to. Now I can remove the front plate, bracket and all whenever I want. No holes in the cover and offset to the passenger side it looks good as well.

I like the no front plate look too, but one drive down Ocean Ave or Rt 71 in Monmouth county in the summer months may have you feeling differently...they are probably looking for speeders and DUIs, but I am sure anything will do :-)

You're right about that. 30mph zone right there (drive it every day). There are sections of route 18 where all they seem to need is a suspicion of being 'not from around here' to pull you over. This is part of our drive in a few weeks so if you're going 'sans plate' you might want to watch for that.

I'm about ready to install my newly painted front bumper and I hate the thought of messing it up with the license plate bracket screws and the stupid front license plate.

I drove all the way to and from SITM this year without a front plate, but that next morning driving down I95, a Maryland cop pulls me over and tells me I'm missing my front plate! I told him I was working on replacing the front bumper and that the plate was in the trunk, which he could clearly see, but he didn't seemed too impressed with that story.

Fortunately I got away with a warning.

I'm thinking to just have the plate handy in the front so that I can throw it up on the dash board quickly if needed, like when I get stopped again.

We'll see how that works.

Have never installed one on either of my 928's here in MA and have never gotten stopped or fined due to this. And have passed inspection w/o front plate on as well.

Plate on the dash doesn't get you out of it here. I never run redlight cam intersections and never exceed the speed limit (hang for a second while I adjst this darn protruding proboscis) so feel no need to obscure the plate. But mine does lean at the angle of the lower bumper face. I think one of those laptop screen privacy filters would do the trick. Partial view from straight ahead, invisible to cameras higher or to the side. Not something --I-- would ever consider of course...
