Unbeleiveable!! I almost told them to keep the car, but being in a state that requires a front plate I decided to take the car and just conform to the law. Again after having it a week or so I found some small black plastic plugs at an Ace Hardware store. Same thing only it was less noticeable being Black. Again, it's not perfect but it's a solution.

AUGGHHH!! That would piss me off beyond belief! When I walked into the dealer that was the first thing I said. If it had a front plate, or you guys install one, the deal is off.

I'm in Illinois too. And i simply don't give a sh** about our front plate law. With my old car and my new nismo, i've been driving without a front plate for well over 4 years without an incident. I've gotten speeding tickets before and the officers don't care as long as you're respectful. If I do get pulled over for it I won't BS the officer either. Simply put I will just say I refuse to drill into my bumper and pay the fine.
