You can get that fairly cheap at the dealership


Now, I know it's usually rumors and all of that, but I did hear recently that they finally passed the law that we don't have to run front plates anymore. Don't know if it's the truth or just another rumor, but that's just what I heard....

I don't run a front plate, never had a problem. You may run into a dick head one day that wants to ticket you though, then get it dismissed.
