Do you have your front plate on?
I was counting how many cars on the road do not have the front plate today as I was driving.
Surprisingly, I saw 1 in every 10 cars or so.
Cosmetically, USA plates ruin the look of the front bumper, IMO.
I wish I could run without the front plate on the bumper but since it is required by the law, I have it on.
 
I believe that this has been discussed in several other threads already.

You missed a couple of poll options:

Yes I do have a front plate only after getting a fix-it ticket for missing one.

Yes I do have a front plate in the middle of the bumper but I'm using an aftermarket solution.

No I don't have a front plate on my car. I am a cop.

P.S. First two are true for me.

I use the Bandit to hold my Naval Aviator wings on front of the M3. Very slick set up that does not touch the car. Brackets attach under the number in the grille area. See photo.

How about an option like, "I have a front plate, but it is in my trunk and ready to stick in place if necessary"?

Incidentally, I was gifted with my first parking ticket (in like ever) last night in downtown Sacramento, but was not pinged for a missing front plate.
