Guess it just depends on where you live and what kind of mood the cop is in,

Yeah when I installed my CS front bumper I didn't put the plate on, went that way for about a month and a half then got pulled over and got ticket. State trooper, was in a bad mood. So I installed the flip down license plate, and I really like it. Also if I lived in texas I wouldn't mind having the front plate, cause there black. I'm stuck with ugly yellow ones.

What do you mean they're black? Do you mean you can't get black custom license plates in NY?
This is what our normal plates look like:

As far as I know you cant get custom colored plates in NY, I know you can change the letters but I'm not sure about colors.

I had the Craig's Custom bracket on mine for over a year then one day it slipped down and was flopping around all over the place. I don't know how the plate and bracket didn't chew the bumper up but I didn't see any damage so I must have caught it right after it came loose. I even routinely checked the tightness of the wingnuts...

I made sure the dealer did not put any holes in the bumper, and I have never had a front plate on my '07. One ticket. To me it is "operating cost" (along with the price of premium gas), for driving a nice clean looking Stang.

I just bought the license plate frame from AM. It acutally flips under your car when you don't need it (Car shows, out of state). They had one that even had a remote control.
