get 2 suction cups and put them in the 2 openings on the license plate and place it inside your car on the windshield, it will be cheap and visible

That's all I do, I get pulled over an average of twice a year for no front plate, and I just pay the ticket and leave the plate off.

Minnesota must be different from other states. Regular cops don't give a damn about not having a front plate, it's only the Highway Patrol that give me a hard time.

Instead of taking his word for it. Do some research and find out what the law says to a T.

Illinois State Law for instance...

(625 ILCS 5/3‑413) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3‑413)
Sec. 3‑413. Display of registration plates, registration stickers and drive‑away permits.
(a) Registration plates issued for a motor vehicle other than a motorcycle, trailer, semitrailer, truck‑tractor, apportioned bus, or apportioned truck shall be attached thereto, one in the front and one in the rear. The registration plate issued for a motorcycle, trailer or semitrailer required to be registered hereunder and any apportionment plate issued to a bus under the provisions of this Code shall be attached to the rear thereof. The registration plate issued for a truck‑tractor or an apportioned truck required to be registered hereunder shall be attached to the front thereof.
(b) Every registration plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position to the vehicle for which it is issued so as to prevent the plate from swinging and at a height of not less than 5 inches from the ground, measuring from the bottom of such plate, in a place and position to be clearly visible and shall be maintained in a condition to be clearly legible, free from any materials that would obstruct the visibility of the plate, including, but not limited to, glass covers and plastic covers. Registration stickers issued as evidence of renewed annual registration shall be attached to registration plates as required by the Secretary of State, and be clearly visible at all times.

(Source: P.A. 95‑29, eff. 6‑1‑08; 95‑331, eff. 8‑21‑07.)

Putting it inside the windshield you will get pulled over twice as likely as not having one. (speaking from this particular experience)

Mine is not a Nismo, but I've owned my Z for more than 5 years now and I have never been stopped for speeding, or no front license plate. If all states require it, I do it in a heartbeat, but not all do. Unless there is a police hard crackdown, I wouldn't put it on.

Dude he took your PBA cards!!!! Tell whoever gave them to you. My understanding is that doing so is a major sign of disrespect.

My buddy had this happen; he told the person that gave ihim the cards and that LEO got the original officer reassigned to some real $hit post!!!! LMAO

Talk to user $LiK RiK. He is making 4 or so of these to see if the Nismo community would be interested. He can even powder-coat them any color you want.

I don't think this looks very good and will most likely be ripped off as soon as you hit a low dip.
