If you're not running stock....aka no cats or other offstreet mods on the street, don't play games with the cops....run a front plate if it's required by the state....your choice, your fine....Pipes

I ran without front plate on my 997S for 2+ years. No tickets or stops for it. And I was saved was a red light ticket (10pm slowed down for a right turn and went thru on red - I was tired). But with no front plate and a bus blocking the rear plate - no ticket. I'm a going to use a tow hook mount to put a plate on the front of the 997TT.

I run a euro plate right now (but with my legit CA number). I figure at least I will comply with the spirit of the law, if not the letter. Before that I never ran a front plate and I have never gotten pulled over.
I heard that they have been ticketing cars parked at meters for no front plates in Santa Monica - to drive revenue, I guess. With the economy the way it is, it will probably get worse. Sometimes I watch oncoming traffic and it appears that about 10% of cars in So Cal don't have front plates.
No front plate was a hassle in my experience because I gotten written up by a meter maid. The idiot couldn't written a for meter mark down because I have a Blue Placard, so he wrote me an no front plate and covered vin number as well, because my placard cover only the first two ONLY letters of the number on the windshield. I wasn't happy when I got, and I didn't even win the contesting, so I had to fork out 100 bucks for it.

No matter what the law is, I'll never put a front plate on a P-car....just takes a lot away from the car imo
I agree, it totally ruins the front end look of the car. I don't think any sports car was ever designed with a white rectangle integrated in it's front end for appearance sake.
