How many of you are running no front plate?

Just replaced my bumper cover. No plate, never. Kills the whole look. How could you?

I live in long island. About 10 years I would commute to the city and park at Shea stadium. Had an old for Taurus. Paid $500 for the car, it had no front bumper and grill was missing. I put the plate in the winshield. I got a ticket for no front plate in the parking lot. I fought the ticket saying the car was in an accident the week before but they said it wasn't a valid excuse but knocked the fine in half. The car was parked in a lot!!

I live in Jersey City (across the river from Manhattan) with 35% tint all the way around (except windshield) and no front plate. Never had a ticket for either despite being stopped for speeding multiple times in the past 4 or 5 years. The lack of a front plate has been mentioned but never ticketed for it. I also move the sun shade back and already have the window down before the officer comes up, so that might help with the tint.

Never got a meter maid ticket while on the street for either as well, granted I rarely do street parking unless its on weekends.

You wont last a day in Marlboro NJ with no plates..I have 35% tints, and every time I visit my parents I pretty much get pulled over. Summer time rarely, because I put my windows down whenever I see a cop

When I was dating my wife (she lived in Lodi) it was almost guaranteed to get pulled over on the way back at night. I had no front plate and tints. Stupid Bergen County.
