mine covers my broken driver's side foglight.

In Illinois I carried my front plates in the vehicle (for two of mine), along with a broken front mount. "officer, the bracket is broken and I am waiting for a new one to install it". Used the excuse once with my truck, but he gave me a fix it ticket, so I had to put it on and get signed off it was installed.

Now in Michigan I can finally breathe easy (and so can the VR4s).

Quoting BpuVR4:

Ditto. Except Mine is just an open hole.

When I was living in Wisconsin, I was pulled over once in 10 years of not running a front plate. I was a block from my place in Milwaukee and got lit up. The cop comes over to me and says, "You know you are supposed to have a front plate." I reach behind the passenger seat, into the map pocket (looking back this might have not been the greatest of moves), and pull out the plate. He says, "Have a nice day." And guess what... I did have a nice day.

Living in California now, I wouldn't even try to not run a front plate unless you have out of state plates and then they can't do anything about it. Can't enforce another states law.

I have mine on a bracket that slants it down so it doesn't block the fmic.

Ohio has this stupid law, I keep mine between the center console and the passenger seat. If i were to ever get pulled over it I'd simply tell the officer I'm not drilling holes in rare car's bumper. My Ram 2500 doesn't have a front plate on it either, no one ever messes with me in that truck though lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif.

I've got mine on a door hinge that I balanced with some washers so that it swings freely with little effort. I've actually seen it blow fairly flat at-speed while driving behind a particularly shiny truck. I'm just not completely in love with how it looks... The real problem is that the metal hinge rattles like a coffee can full of bolts while I'm idling.

Couldn't tell you. Previous owner, maybe the one before him. I've been pulled over a couple times for speeding and they didn't say jack about the front plate. I did get a hefty parking ticket in downtown Portland for not having it though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif I avoid downtown Portland now, but if I do go there, I park in a private lot instead of on the street. I'm going to get some vanity plates soon, then the front one will live on the wall of my garage. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
