I DO! I love the look of the nose of the S without the frontplate. But, I have never been willing to give the police one more reason to pull me over, if they are on the fence.

I would love to see VA do away with the front plate requirement.

P.S. Besides, it is SO hard to keep clean and keep the bugs off of it!

My blatant disregard for MD's front tag law has netted me $110 worth of tickets (that'd be 2 in 5 years @ $55/pop) and saved my a$$ a couple of times, I'm sure. I came over a hill on Clara Barton to a cop shooting radar and I either blinded him or he couldn't get a lock on my lack of front plate, but i was easily going faster than I should have been. Didn't nab me.

I HEARD a long time ago that the S was a difficult radar/laser lock from the front, but that's complete hearsay.

Go VA!
