I got an $80 citation from a meeter maid for no front plate. I'm actually going into court next week to contest it since it's been over two months since I've sent in my written explanation, and I haven't heard anything back from them despite them withdrawing the money from my bank account for the bail.
I zip-tied mine to the front - like others have said if you fit it right below the solid plastic panel of the upper bumper you can attach it without it resting on, or scraping the paint at the bottom - albeit barely.
