No plate, until pulled over. It's a Ohio thing. Just center it, just a holes in plastic. I'm sure they had to also for my rear diffuser and the front and side skirts/trims people get.

I guess you could get pulled over for no front plate and then have the cop hassle you about other stuff as well. I had 1 fix-it ticket a few years ago with my 350Z, which I took care of pretty easily. Bought a tow hook license plate bracket, got the ticket written off, and then took it off again. I think I also had to pay $11 to get the ticket cleared. But I understand that a lot of people would much rather play it safe.

yeah lol i mean if it was simple and easy to fix then sure i wouldnt mind, but the whole process if showing proof, fixing it and etc, idk i just think it's not worth the trouble or time. But i gota say, no front plate is always WAY sexier on almost every car :happy0180:

I pushed it against the tow hook and then traced a nickle from the indentation. Basically I should have cut a piece of paper and did it that way. Easiest way to do it is take a piece of paper and trace the tow hook while installed.
