While living on the Illinois / Indiana border I never bothered with installing the front plate. I lived in Illinois (plate required), but did 95% of my driving in Indiana (no plate required). A few months ago, I moved about 60 miles east so I'm smack in the middle of plate required land.
I've decided to not be an outlaw anymore and use my powers for good. For those of you that have front plates or are in the know, what is the recommended method for installing a front plate so I don't jack up the front bumper any more than it already is.
