^^Yeah i'll be getting one too if i have any more problems. FYI to any of you with a plate cover in illinois (tinted or not) The state cop that got me last year for no front plate...also gave me a written warning for a tinted liscense plate cover. He said that its the only equipment violation that goes against your driving record 
He claimed he didnt even know why.

Here in Texas it's a law to have it on the front of the car, but we usually just put it up on the front windshield inside the car. The law usually doesn't mess with us about it.
If they do just tell them you're brackets are broken and you have no way to put it there, they will let you slide.

in ontario, ive got my plate mounted to my air dam. On my iroc-z i ran without a plate for 2 years no problems.
To say how much the cops in my area care, the windsheild in my golf is cracked, i mean badly, right in my line of sight. been this way for 4 months now, none care.

The police here are pretty strict about having a front plate. So, I left my stock grill/license plate bracket on and got creative with a clear plate cover.

Dude its bad here..no seat belt on..pull ya over, No plate(on any car) Pull ya over, Window Tint..same. If you have a nice ride..youll get picked out real fast! The cops think they are so big down here and our town is so big..man we arent ****! Iv also had a buddy get a seat belt ticket in MY drive way by the same state trooper that gave me the front tag ticket..They watch people like crazy...We have a big target on us.. we always have nice cars seting out in front of the house with a few black marks each time we pull in and out but thats besides the point!

Anyway back on topic. I zip tied mine to my billet grill back when I had my old camaro. On my 98 bird its in the factory spot. I might try the suction cups idea on my 96 RS or maybe the air dam.

I asked the night supervisor for the local cops(friend of mine) and she said only one city cop might ask about it but probably not do anything. The state cops on the other hand are pretty strict about everything. Plate just sits behind the driver seat which you can't see because my windows are nice and illegally tinted

VA resident here. Front licences are required but haven't had one since i bought the car over 2 years ago, I am running with the SS grill. A stupid old sheriff walked into the dealer I was working in and was like whos camaro is that!? he gave me a warning on it and asked if there was a spot to put it. "No sir, the car was bought from the factory like this and I have no way putting a plate on, I am not ruining my car. Plus you don't need to see it from the front, your gonna be behind me anyway" Now I wish I said the words in red! haha still have the ss grill on. No cops bother with it.
