Default Do you have your front license plate on?

I took my front license plate off the other day because I thought my xB would look better with it off. However, there are those two screw holes that are just sticking out there and look really poor. I'm interested you guys have decided to keep your plate on or not and if you did decide to take it off what if anything you are putting in it's place to fill those holes.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Ken

I want to leave mine off but I am still waiting on getting my plates.

O/T: How long does it take to get new vehicle plates? i have had my new xB for one month and one week but, still no plates and tags...

I'll leave mine on only because the cops are silly around here and pull people over just for that.

I'm glad that FLA doesn't have front plates, so we don't have this prob.

but if we did, I'd put id up on the dash & tape it to the glass.

Hope that helps.

Dave

Never had any of the front plate on any of my car
I did get pulled over once for that, and all I do is use a zip-tie to hold my plate on the bottom grill of my car, once the cop signed it off I just cut the tie off and plate is gone again =) Its a $10 dollar citation around my area and I guess its not that expensive since I only got 1 no front plate ticket in 8 years

*Knock Knock Knock on wood*

BTW, no holes on my xB
Longo never install that silly front plate frame on my car
Thank you!! Longo!!

Default plates

I havent ordered mine yet but once I do I am going to ask the dealer to not put mine on the xb so I can just prop it up in the window or just leave it in the glovebox and if the cop asks to see it I'll pull it out.

i've got mine on.
cops are cracking down now because of the intersection cameras... they take your photo from the front and want front license plates in the picture. in the san fernado valley they station about 10 motorcycle cops at a given intersection and pull everyone that doesn't have a front plate over and ticket them. so if you haven't seen the heat... you will. it's all about the $$$$

besides, for me, time is money and i ain't gonna waste it on getting pulled over for something as stupid as a front plate -- the last thing i want is more attention from the ticket *****...
