Check CA dmv website. Some states have new/exotic car exemptions for front plates.

i don't think they have anything like that here. If there was i think everyone here would know about it XD CA is pretty strict in a lot of stuff, vehicle emissions, Sound DB on your exhaust, license plate, tints, no G parking on slanted parking spots, so much more lol

Thankfully, my home state of Pennsylvania doesn't require a front plate. If that wasn't the case, I would likely leave it off until law enforcement intervened.

lol that would be ok but i think that there would be emission problems and all. I mean for a new car you wouldnt have to worry for years but id rather not have to deal with it you know? lol

I am pretty sure it avoid putting holes in the car. So in other words they mount the front plate where the tow hook is placed, which is more often than not, off to the side of the front of the car.
