Do you break the law and refuse to put a front license plate on?
 

I live in a state where front plates are required.

I simply refuse to put one on because I think it aesthetically ruins the car.

With my Carrera I refused for 7 years. During that time I got pulled over twice and only got a fix it ticket. Another Porsche Club member tried the same thing and got 3 fix it tickets and one huge fine on the 4th because the judge found out about the other 3.

I now have a front plate :-)

This probably belongs in the PNW forum, not in general discussion.

You'll put a plate on REAL quick once you get the $195 ticket for Failure to Display. Ask me how I know.....

The PNW is not the only area that requires front plates though.

Rocking a front plate in California.

Car does look better without it though.

You know I admire the Tesla Model S owners here in WA. I swear literally every one that I've seen has no front plate.

I guess if you can afford a $70K+ car, you can eat the ticket.

And Corvette drivers.

is it really that big of a deal? mine drives the same either way so i dont care.

Yes. I have been ticketed twice. I pay the $25 fine.
I will never put a front plate on. Ever.

No one will dictate to me what I can and can't do to my car.

I don't care if the fine was $100 per infraction. They can go to hell.

The car looks much nicer with no front plate.

In Arizona, we don't need to have front plates... sucks that you guys have to have them :(

Failing to put one on gives a cop reason to pull you over and look into other violations. If that's all you have then no sweat. But it you have no license, no insurance, etc, it can be costly.

Dealer didn't install, I got lazy. I'll put it on when I get a ticket. Don't care either way.

And I completely agree that it isn't worth it to attract unwanted attention like others have mentioned. I'm not too concerned about the aesthetics of the car when my foot is smashed to the floor or I'm turning into a tight hairpin.

:burnrubber:

Nope. I dont want to give cops another reason to come after me.

Plus i pay for custom plates so i may as well get my moneys worth. Lol

We'll over 25yrs since I've run a front plate......haven't been stopped once,
