Yes, they do. Lots of people still roll without them.

It's hit or miss whether you'll get a ticket for not having one. I'm not willing to take the chance so I put mine on. But many people have gotten away with it for years. It's just random if you'll get hit or not.

Leave it off. If they ticket you it is only a cheap fix-it ticket. I've had the Z for almost 2 years and and they only time the cops ticketed me was when they added it to my illegal parking ticket.

Just saw my friend's car and he had his license plate made into a decal and paste it on his front bumper so you don't need to drill holes....you can do this too if you're worrying about the holes more than looks, either way it's best that you have "some type of license plate" in the front of the vehicle.

If you're worried about holes, why not go with the Zee bracket?

Or something similar.

So far I have been pulled over twice and I have gotten fix it tickets for no plates! So....I sucked it up and put the damn holes in the front bumper
By the way it doesn't look bad.

It just sucks going to the court and giving away our HARD EARN MONEY!!!
(Note: 1yr with no front license plates)
