Default How many of you are rocking the front plate?

I'm not one to ever advocate breaking any laws(honestly), but when I picked my car up from Texas, it didn't have a front plate on it (it just had the holes exposed where the bracket went). When I got my plates, I just put the rear on and I put on the body colored front plate caps... and I love the way the front end looks without it.

Does anyone else not rock a front plate? And if you don't, do you get harassed by local PD about it?

Purchased new...in '03 !!!! The "ONLY" time I ever had a front plate on, was when I drove off the stealership's lot...to the house !!! I have never been harrassed by the local, or outta state "LEOS"...but then again...I am more than willing to pay the fine, should I get pulled over The front plate, completely destroys the looks of the front, of the "S"......

I havent had a front plate since ive owned the car which has been since 2008. No issues what so ever, but also I havent even been pulled over (in the state of Ohio), so I havent given them a reason to say anything about it.

Ive never had one in the ~5 years Ive had an S2k. Never had an issue either through multiple "enforcement" opportunities.

I'm not sure if I am "rocking" my front plate or not....but I have had a front plate on any of my cars for the last 15+ years and I have never been bothered by the police.

Don't drive through Gahanna. They will hunt you down for no front plate. If you park in downtown Columbus at a parking meter, you will have a no front plate ticket on it from the meter maid.

I'm hesitant to post this as I'm sure it will jinx me, but I haven't had the front plate on for about 3 years now.

However much of my driving is in more rural areas, where I think there aren't too many LEO's looking for something to do.

I got pulled over by the Hilliard po-po the first week I moved back. Got off with a warning (think they were doing newbie training). Had it on since then, but I'm contemplating taking it off. Never had a problem a couple years ago when I lived in Dublin.
