wouldn't it be better if there is no plate in the front?

Yes, would look better, but it's law here to have two plates.

Plus the fact that if you take off the front plate holder, there's a big hole in your bumper.

Every car looks better without a front plate.

I like to put mine up in the windshield inside the car, but I recently got a ticket for that in MD, they said it wasn't legal to do anymore.

I mind the plates a lot less if they're over to one side, but the windshield is still ideal IMO.

I never run front plates on my cars. Only once was my wife pulled over in my M3 for it, and the cop just warned her. I am going to call the dealer and ask them not to drill any holes for the front plate (if the car requires drilling like many do)

No front tags in NC, but definitely required in VA. I figure as long as it's a vanity tag I won't mind so much.

Like they said, all cars look awesom without the front plates; it varies from state to state and province to province. Maybe I'll bury it in my riced up transformer body-kit mesh lower grill.

I agree all cars look better without a front plate. The worst eysore was on the MX-5 - such a round cute little nose, and then ruined by than big white plate on it

Two plates are mandatory in HI - and they will stop you. My old Jeep plate got lost during offroading, and I ended up being stopped enough times that I was likely to get the same policeman twice, at which point I wouldn't get off with a warning any more.

Manitoba used to have no front plate a few years back. Then when the car makers left off the indent for the plates in the front bumper, the Gov't. changed their mind and mandated 2 plates again. Lots of dealers scrambling around trying to fit front plates again.
My take is the police said they needed a view of front plates.

I saw a video on TV of a vehicle cruising parking lots taping rear plates and checking the NCIC data base for stolen cars. Invasion of privacy in a public area or better for crime solving? Also Britain has 1.5 million security cameras already. 1984 and Big Brother.

Yes, CA requires plates on front and back, but probably 30-40% of the cars I see on the road here don't have front plates. People around here are concerned more about their image than about following the law.
