Just for an experiment I'd argue that the Boxster S was not designed to have a front plate since it will disrupt the airflow going into the front center oil cooler.

I'd ask for an exception to the law because I don't want to chance blowing my $15k engine.

In California I'm sure you could find a loophole with all the arcane and ridiculous laws on the books here.

Perhaps arguing that the extra air resistance causes higher fuel mileage and is therefor environmentally unfriendly and increasing my carbon footprint.

I can also make the point out that the front plate would be useless to them anyway because they'd be lucky if they could even catch up to me and hence only have the opportunity to see the rear plate anyway.

Nice going on your ticket, finally they recognize who is paying their salary and deserves a break for such trivial matters.
