Well brother if you don't want to keep on getting pulled over, and it's the law where you live I would bite the bullet and put the front plate on, I think stillen makes a front plate kit, or search for one... Or move to a state where you don't have to have a front plate, Just my 2 cents...

Ah fellow Jersey Z. I didn't want to take any chances so I got the Stillen relocator kit. As much as I don't like seeing a front plate either. It doesn't look half bad. What part of NJ? I'm in Green Brook.

Cars definitely look better without front plates, but I'd rather not worry about getting pulled over every time I drive.
Check here if you're interested: Rho-plate

No front plate, and haven't been pulled over yet. I expect to be though, and I'll pay the no front plate tax. Hopefully it doesn't happen too often.
I do plan on getting something like that rho-plate for long road trips. |

Put the plate on. The world doesnt end and your time is more valuable than being pulled over.
I have nice big Euro plates here in Germany. I still look back and admire my Z when parked. The plate is nothing. This is such a non issue. |

I have the screw brackets in place on mine but no plate on. Painted them black to match the plastic so you can't see them. If I get pulled over, screw it on and have the ticket signed off on, then off it comes again. Cops won't pull you over for just the front plate in most cases. They generally just add it to whatever infraction they pulled you over for. Mainly speeding.

I have a Stillen bracket but took it off and have it sitting right behind the passenger seat. have a good excuse lined up - actually worked once already. Told the officer I just had my bumper fixed after being hit and just about ready to install it back.
