    A good rule of thumb is: if they give it to you then you have to use it. I don't like the way front plates look either which is one reason I am glad I live in michigan.

    Front plate law but it's very rarely enforced. I've managed almost 10 years with no front plate and no ticket or warnings.

    I've owned 6 cars and never had a front plate. I've never had anything said to me. Take the plate off.

    Same here. Although it is the law, I've NEVER seen it enforced.

    I have been ticketed twice in the last 10 years for no front plate and warned god knows how many times.

    The police around here in the nw burbs of Chicago enforce the front plate law in a very strict manner, same with tint. That's why I have my plate on and only my rear 3 windows are tinted.

    Maybe I'll just put one on until the cops start pulling me over for it.

    I worked in Appleton for a while. We talked to some higher ups at the time. They said if your car didnt originally come with a setup for it. Then you didnt have to run it. Such as my dads Cobra kit car, that would be a no go ;)

    I've lived in WI for the last 5 years, and have been warned once about no front plate on my LX. The car was originally from Florida, so it had no bracket, and I refuse to drill holes in my LX's bumper cover to put one on there.

    I don't know who told you that, but State and County police will still give you a kit for it. Friends dad bought his '86 GT new in Mich. and they do not require a front plate. Cops didn't care. Either put one on or pay the fine.
