Default Trimmed front license plate

When I bought my new 06 Z the idiots at the dealership already drilled holes in the bumper.

So I was wondering if anyone has trimmed/cut their license plate to look smaller and tuck into the grille.
Being a VW fan awhile back I've seen quite a few people do this and even seen one around town too.

Anyone do this? If so, any cops harass you? Laws against modifying plate?

I have to do something with this stupid mandatory billboard on the front of my bumper.

There are alternatives to cutting up the license plate.

Where is cx?

Register your car in a State that does not use a front plate.

Police do not write/make the laws.

Do a search.

One of our CA members bent her plate (in a minimizing look) to fit in her bumper behind her aftermarket grill, and she was instructed to get it fixed (by method of a fix-it ticket, I believe) by her local police.

zeeanswer - thanks, im aware of whats out there, but i want smaller or might just be a rebel and rock no plate

highwayspeed - cx is made up, idk bout doing a different state or how that would work out, when i go to the dmv im gonna see if i can get an old plate that used to be 1 plate only and do that

yobri - good to know, though whats to fix the #'s are still there, i hate how they have to bust your ***** for something so worthless, front plates are a waste of money
