I will never, ever install a front plate on my car. I have already received one ticket and plan on getting many more. The look is worth the fines, in my opinion.

I received a no front plate ticket a week ago in Chicago. They ticketed me while the car was parked.

Model Year: 2004

Only ticket I got for that was in Wisconsin, the guy was mad he didn't get a lock on my speed (70ish in a 55, with a corner marked for 50 IIRC) so he wrote me for no front plate. Now I'm in Michigan; our cars look so much better without that front plate!

There's no front plate requirement here in sunny FL... The E60 just doesn't look good with it; plus I'm sure is screws with the aerodynamics..

It's still just a fix it ticket, can even get it while your parked.....there are some nice options aside from drilling holes in your bumper to mount.

Can't you So-Cal guys just put the plate in the front windsheild in the corner on the passenger side? When I lived in Sacramento, all of my buddies had theirs in their windshelds, and they never had a problem with it.....and Sac is the capitol of fix-it ticket cops.....especially with modified imports.
