I was always in the minority with having a front plate, now I really will be. Plus, it’s saved my front bumper and rad from at least one direct bird strike.

I have an assortment of plastic plugs on order to fill the two holes on the Accord.

I don't want to give anyone an excuse for a fishing expedition in my car. Traffic stops are a gold mine of arrests for drugs, warrants, drunks, illegal weapons. etc. Any stop for "probable cause," regardless of how seemingly innocent like no front plate (when mandated) or widow tint or head, tail, or tag lights out, loud exhaust can result in you being stopped and provide an excuse tor a search of your vehicle based on smell, plain sight, body language, etc. Even if innocent in these areas you're still sitting on the side of the road all this time.

At least the front plate scofflaws don't have that to worry about in Ohio now.

I took mine off a couple weeks ago and was surprised to not see any fade/color issues. I did go to Honda and order the painted plugs but the tabs holding the threaded bracket behind the bumper were loose so I had to take the whole bumper off, get those securely back in place and reassemble the front end. (I simple 10 minute job always seems to end up like this)

I was mildly reluctant to do it though considering I pay extra for special license plates
