I run no front plate.
Instead I ordered a bracket from Americanmuscle and never opened the package and threw it in the back seat.
I've been pulled over twice and let go because I show them the package and tell them that I just got the bracket in and am mounting it the first chance I get.

Pressing your luck on that though. Its a $100 fine and a non moving violation "failure to display" if they decide to give you a ticket anyway. Been there done that 3 or 4 times and decided my scheme wasnt working anymore.

I haven't ran a front plate for over 5 years on my stang, I have only been pulled over once, and they didn't give a crap about not having a front plate, they just used that as a reason, no ticket, no warning, and no problems thus far. And I live in Houston.

I need to move to Texas..lol Ohio spends more money than any other state trying to catch motorists doing illegal things. THey also catch more people than any other state. The only reason we are required to even have the damn front plate is so that the cops have a flat, refelctive metallic surface to bounce their laser guns off of.
On the other hand, I also believe, without any proof, that the cost of making and maintaing all of those front plates exceeds the profit we give them from speeding. So, as usual, my tax dollars are being pissed away on something stupid that no one even wants anyway.
