So I guess you guys live in the states that don't require front tags? I live in Texas and front tags are required. I would love to have one of these.

btw... I keep my front tag is under the front seat in case I have to throw it on the dash quickly ...just in case I get pulled over. Texas tags look pretty damn ugly on a front bumper.

So, just wondering if you guys are taking a chance like me (somewhat).

I am in Texas as well and I have never had plates on the front. However I just moved here a few months ago so I might encounter this but for now I have my Utah plate on the rear and have not had a chance to register in the state of Tx yet. Keeping a plate in the car under the seat could work

Texas does require front plates. Mostly to nail you for speeding though to have something flat to hit with laser or radar.

Houston Police have pulled me over twice and given me a verbal warning. Texas Dept. of Safety has pulled me over once with a verbal warning.

If you're nice you can talk your way out of this one. If you're not nice, it's $75 and a non-moving violation.

The money paid once a year for this ticket is worth it to me not to have a plate on the front.

Amen to that. I will pay to NOT have a plate as well.
