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?
