P-Lap, I agree it's not a big deal most of the time, as I had no front tag on my Miata for 10 years and only received one warning. However, after getting two tickets at $100 each during the first ~five months in the Boxster, I decided it was no longer 'optional'. Sometimes it just comes down to the town you're in, the car you're in, and how Johnny Law feels that day.
I put it back on for inspection, and mounted it low and recessed into the front spoiler so I don't even see it when I walk around the car. It's been there ever since and doesn't bother me anymore. While I prefer the look without it, I choose to keep a low profile and not draw attention in that regard.
