Default Front licence plate

Do you guys put your front licence plate on? It doesn't have a bracket on the front but I saw a place for self tapping screws to go into.

I like the look of the the front bumper without the plate, but I am worried cops may pull me over for not having one.

Any comments or pics of how it would look good?

my stock bumper had them in already. in NY you can't sell someone a car /truck without the front plates on. i never keep a front plate on any of my rides. i always keep it in the car though under the seat but 1 is enough as far as im concerned. and if some low life cop wants to bother you for not having a plate when there is plenty of other shit he can do thats just sad....

but anawayyy yea the self tapping holes are for the plate mount. any self tapping screw can mount the plate on. don't have a pic though mounted a new bumper on pretty much ass soon as i got the jeep.

if your state requires a front plate, put one on.

dont need to get pulled over for something like that just for the cop to find out you drank 2 beers in the last hour.

Being on the other side of the creek ( Mississippi river) from you, it seems like a lot of MO folks dont run front plates. It must not be mandatory there.
Here in the Land o Lincoln, they'll pull your arse over, strip search ya, and fine you for at least $75

A front plate can make a nice surface for your jack to sit on if needed. I crushed one a few times that way. . . ..

No front plate required here in Alabama so I put my NSS membership plate on the front.

It's the law here in Iowa and they will definitely stop you. Not having the front plate on gives them probable cause to stop you.
