Put it on after I was pulled over and warned for not having one on at all.
Maybe ugly, but better than the one off to the side of the car. Maybe would look more balanced if they put one on the other side two.
Bottom line one of those in the eye of the beholder kinda deals which is best.

Hell. No. Ticket me, IDGAF

My other two cars have front plates; they don't look nearly as ruined with them on.

@Eski
Well, make sure never to drive near Ardenwood/Fremont area then. Cause that's where they gave me a $86 ticket for no plate.
Cop must've been f**king around with me. I mean, $86??

They KNEW what the car was and they probably laughed around with their cop buddies afterwards. Pigs.

I ziptie mine to the grill in the winter to block off my oil cooler and keep oil temps nice and toasty. Function/Form FTW

Usually I don't run one

Just moved to Michigan, but had no front plate in Ohio for 8 years.. my brother has had no front plate ohio for 14 years, my dad 10 years. Low priority in some states

I do have the holes in my bumper though since I bought used. I was going to plug them, but it doesn't bother me
