I fixed the problem here in Missouri - I moved to Kansas - they dont require a front plate.

Here in Ontario, Canada it is law to have a front plate.  The car came from the dealer with one of those ridiculous black holders stuck onto the nose.  A few car washes later and the thing fell off!

So, I opted to replace it with a colour matching frame holder that easily comes off to show the car.

I live in New Jersey where a front plate is LAW. Ugly on a Vette. I currently don't have a front plate on. If I get stopped my excuse is that I recently had a clear bra installed on the car, and the installer told me I needed to wait a least a month before attaching plate. It has been 5 months. So if I get stopped, there is no way of telling that it was not recently installed. That will be my excuse indefinately. Hope it works.
