    Been driving without one for years in CT (law exists). I’ve been pulled over for other things but never talked to about that by cops.
    On my way back from Canada a border patrol agent asked me why I don’t have it since my state requires it. I told him I never used one and if need be I’ll just pay my fine.

    Sto n Sho all the way. I bolted mine instead of sticking it to the plastic. Summer heat + high speed runs on my M6 just pose too much of a risk for that thing flying off and causing more damage.
    I also put mine in the foot well of the front passenger seat unless I’m pulled over. Then it’s the classic “Oh officer, I always have it on but I took it off yesterday to wash my car and forgot to put it back on!”.

    I was a aeronautical engineer and I spent 2 years doing wind tunnel testing. On some car models, a front license plate causes between 1% to 5% increase in gasoline usage. Front license plates are bad for gas mileage and bad for the environment. I wonder why woke states like California still require them when many states don't require a front license plate.

      (In CT the Plates transfer with the Owner rather than the Vehicle.)

    I like that , I agree much better than the tow hook position , I have 2 collecting dust 😂, Another easy way is get 2 small bungy cords and zip tie one across the top two holes of the plate and one across the bottom two holes , then just hook it across into the lower grill area if the plate fits in there , It blocks the oil cooler so no pushing the car , Also it can be a gray area of the plate mounted to low , I checked the link you sent your does look different then the one they show 🤷🏻‍♂️, Thanks for sharing

    With a front license plate, it would be easier for some parking facilities where at gates, there no column for either dispensing a ticket or with a card reader for reading your card of choice as a parking ticket but only a camera positioned to only read your front license plate so any vehicle of length is supported. Also, when travelling to other countries by road such as #Canada, there would be less legal problems with having a front license plate especially when you travel to provinces such as British Columbia and Ontario. In countries such as #Taiwan, plenty of pay parking facilities are gated and don't issue any physical ticket but only scan your front license plate no matter if you're a casual visitor or a frequent customer.

    Good plan. I live in Maryland and theyre stupid about plates too. But I suppose if you really wanted to, you could install the plate mount and never put your plate on. Just keep the plate assembly in the car. If youre pulled over than you could say that you are just heading to or just left the car show and forgot to put it on the car. "Oh...I mustve forgot officer, here it is". Nice

    Considering they let people rent vehicles with out of state tags all over now... and people can keep their tags from other states even when they permanently live in a "front tag state," penalizing people for not having a front plate is silly as long as they have a registered back plate with proper sticker. Just a money grab.
