Default Liscense Plate help!

Very often I see cars with no front liscense plate. I took mine off and looked at my car for about a couple of minutes. It looks so much better and much more agressive. My question is, is it legal? If I ever get pulled over ( I don't plan to) will I be ticketed for not having a front liscense plate? I went though the Accords Picture thread and almost every car didn't have a front liscense plate. If you guys could answer my questions that would be awesome

its definitely illegal in most states, but not all. i have only been warned, but they can ticket you for it if they want to.

I got a warning ticket, but I told the cop the bracket was crooked and I took it off so I could fix it.

In OR they give you a fix-it ticket. I've never gotten one, but my friends have.

The day of the court date, they put the plate back on, drive to the station and show the cops, cops rip up the ticket, friend goes back home and takes it off again, haha.

well the reason why you see alot of cars with no plates in the front is cause some states don't need the front plates only one like me (Pa Plates) i live in nyc and i have pa plates so i can get cheaper insurance

best thing to do with the front plate to give it a more custom look is build yourself a bracket that will offset your plate to the right or left of the original postition. Easy and cheap to do, plus it gives it that custom look

ive seen people that dont have their front plate mounted, and instead have it laying on their dashboard. Anyone know if thats a legal substitute for not having it on the front fender?

You know the license plates aren't supposed to be offset like that, right? They have to be in the middle.

I was always told, it didn't matter where, as long as it was displayed on the front bumper. I may be wrong tho
