I like all vehicles without plates but if you don't have a plate you have holes. So I guess I choose plate.

no plate, to cover the holes, keep the screws in or buy the push plugs.

Definitely no plate. I had a plate on mine and removed it, had the holes filled with "panel bond" and then simply used touch-up paint to cover it. Looks good and was free! (minus the touch-up paint)

If I had a choice, it would be no plate for me, but in NY, it is required, not an option.
