Cops will not give u a ticket just because u don't have a front license plate but if you put those Euro plate on, I'm not sure if you can get away with it.

I live in los angeles and i drove around in my 1965 Porsche 912 with a Euro-frontplate and never got any grief from the police about it. You'r fine but dont hold me to that if you get a ticket... cause you never know.

I agree with CJ...i got mine on my previous Benz' and never got pulled over coz
of the plate (knocking on the wood) and I already installed one in the replacement of the C230

Hopefully i won't get pulled over on the way home

Two years ago there was a big push by law enforcement here in LA (and it may have been state-wide) to get owners to install the front plates. Two friends were ticketed so i reluctantly put the front plate on my Box. Not sure if it is still being reinforced, tho.

Here in Quebec we don't have any front plate and we can put whatever we want there.

Whatever you want...

what about a nude picture of Whoopie Goldburg?... I'd pull you over for that!

I have seen plenty of sports cars without the front plate. I wouldn't worry about it, and if you get pulled over they will probably just give you a warning.
