Default Front License Plate Poll

What kind of license plate do you run up front?

I am contemplating ordering a German "Zoll" Tourist plate for the front of mine.

When I got my car, it had a silver plate with the BMW logo on it, and I've just kept it on there all these years.

I don't like a plate up front. I think the car looks cleaner without, but I'm guessing that all of you northern and western states don't have a choice.

I got 3 no front tag tickets within I think 2 years.
I finally installed a front tag.

Funny, the MINI has had no tage for 3 years and I never got stopped.
You think cops target BMWs? Nah.

We don't need front plates in PA, unlike most of our neighbors, which is awesome. I really like the look of a Euro plate though... Me want!

Connecticut only issued one plate years back, then went to a front plate as well (so laser speed detection would work better on newer cars without chrome plated trim).

Since the change, I have refused to install the front plate. I have actually returned plate sets from cars I have sold, with the front plate still in the wax-paper bag it was given to me in...

No tickets for it (yet)...
