Default Front License Plate MO

I was curious to see how many guys in Missouri have there license plates on the front of there cars. I think it looks like hell with the license plate up front and was thinking about placing the cover back on. What does everyone else do?

No cover here. Police have used it as an excuse to pull me over, but after they got it out of their systems, none have bothered me, local or otherwise. However, I usually obey all other local laws, so I think they appreciate that considering and leave me be.

You could also get the clear cover, if I had to run a front plate, I would try and pick one of those up.

I don't have any front plates on any of my cars. However, I have one on the front of my wife's car. I don't get hassled at all.

I never had a front plate on my Trans Am and don't have one on my Firehawk. I have never been hassled about it (knocks on wood).

most local guys here in joplin bolt the license plate to that black plastic air deflector under/behind the front bumper. it's still relatively visible but doesn't affect the car's appearance. i've got no front plate on my SS and have never been bothered, but there's always a first time for everything...
