Default Who here in NE drive without a front plate?

I was washing my car today and i took the front plate off to clean behind the spots. Then i just took a long look at it and it looked so good without the plate. Who here drives without one anybody? I would take the risk of driving it around if they gave fix it tickets which would cost you 10 bucks. But i heard they charge over a 100 dollars plus surcharge points.... I see some suvs and new camarys without one. But my car attracts plenty of cops so i don't know if i should.

I hate the look of the front plate, and don't run one.

Im sure your going to get a lot of answers. For the most part at the meets I havebeen to most dont run the plate. Some take it off for meets. and swift even sold a mount that llet the plate flip down under the bumper for show

FTR I run my front plate I just dont want to be pulled over and hassled for it.

I no longer live in NE but my license plate is still VT for another few months

I have no front plate. I've run one for about 4 months out of the time I have had the S.

Only got pulled over once, with a warning - of course I can play the "silly girl" card - I'm sorry officer I parked too close to a curb and the plate bracket broke so I took it off. Here's my plate... (Kept in the little pocket behind the drivers seat and easy to lay hands on.

If I keep the car and end up with NY plates the front one will be on the day I get it inspected and coming off immediately after.

White plates on SSM are going to be pretty much just as ugly as Green has been. The only thing worse I could imagine would be yellow NJ plates

Nope, no front plate. It's in the trunk if we are asked for it. Someone (not me) has been stopped three times driving the S. No plate on and it was never an issue. But we're old, so maybe they won't hassle us as much as you young guys.

Keep in mind you need the front plate on to get a sticker.

No front plate here...keep it in the trunk.

No plate needed for a sticker if you know someone.

Haven't been pulled over yet for that or anything else while in the S.
