IL - Front Liscense Plate
 

I was wondering if any of the Illinois people have the front liscense plate or have had trouble not having it. I picked up my new 8 last week, and went to a dealer that would not put it on, they did reccomend it though. I had no trouble on my previous car but it was a Volvo wagon. My buddy has a rice and ridiculous Neon and gets pulled over for it all the time.

got warned once in my rx-7...

I keep my plate inside my car, but no frame installed on front.

well I keep mine off and on, no trouble yet, also I have seen alot of hi class cars with no plates looks like they got no prob.

ive never had a problem...cop pulled me over in palos hills looked at the front of my car and didnt say anything...i thought i was gonna get a ticket for it

I have to park in a municipal lot and have received warning tickets from the village in the past; sadly, it has to stay on.

I've lived in chicago for about 3 years now. Street parking in lakeview with no front plate, never had a problem. However, last month I parked downtown on a saturday in the loop and got a ticket for the plate and the meter. Now I keep the plate in the car and put it on the dash when parking outside :)

i just put mine on, saves the hassle and tickets. I would like to take it off, but i seen so many tickets given for no plates, so i dont wanna risk it.

I refuse to post and jinx myself... ;)

got a ticket one day =( not having it on

i've had my 8 since Feb. w/ no front plate. i havent had anythign happen to me yet. I also got pulled over and had nothing said. i just keep mine in my trunk.

No problems so far. Looks so much better with out it frame on it. I do keep it in the trunk just incase.

Same here.

On an unrelated note, I wonder if (1) it would be legal to mount a front license plate upside down. As I recall, the only requirement in Illinois is that the plate be "firmly attached" to the front of the vehicle, or some such langauge. I also wonder if a State could create a "front plate delete" option that could be sold like personalized plates are now sold. Since not all States require front plates, I don't see why a "front-plate delete" option wouldn't be okay. Maybe we could use the first idea to lobby for the second. :)

Start the campaign! Heck, my motorcycle doesn't have front plates.. so why cars? ;)
