When I got my last ticket last summer I felt pressured to put a plate on but I was still adamant about not having a front plate, I came up w/ a somewhat wacky design of a retracting license plate (conceptual only) just to maintain the look of no front plate, but more importantly, to mess w/ the next cop that pulls me over for no front license plate.

I don't think that anyone that has a Corvette w/o a front plate ever gets pulled over. I believe law enforcement execrises some like 'vehicle profiling' and is more inclinded to pull over some cars than others.

I've noticed that at night or under low light conditions it is very difficult to tell if a car does not have a front license plate since the headlights obsuce the details of the front of a car. Of friends that I know that have been tagged w/ a no front license plate ticket, it has always been in broad daylight during the warmer months of the year.
