If you don't want to drill holes why not just not have a front plate?

Many states require it now. I have even been harassed which driving those states when I didn't have mine on. Maine requires a front plate and so does Customs when you cross or at least they will give you plenty of crap about it if you don't have it on in my experience.

They're all garbage, more government intrusion into our life. Normally I don't run one just to spite them and local cops don't even care. But the wife keeps getting bothered by Barney Fife on the way to work 1 small town over. They got nothing better to do it seems.

Well if I do end up having to drill holes, is there at least a professional looking one? One of those black ones that the plate rests in. Typically, they look like they sort of mold to the bumper cover itself. As if they are part of it. And usually are made out of black plastic.

I agree, more government intrusion. Unfortunately, here the local cops do care. I had California plates here for 2 years and had those plexiglass covers over the plates. When I got Texas plates, I bought a new plexiglass cover for the new plate. IIRC, it was that same day that I got pulled over......because the plexiglass covers aren't allowed in Texas . I asked the LEO why does Wal-Mart sell them here if they aren't legal. He rattled off a whole bunch of things that Wal-Mart sells at their stores in Texas that people aren't allowed to posess in Texas .

Jeez. AL is apparently one of the few free states left where every aspect of vehicle ownership isn't regulated in every fathomable freaking way.

Lol, regulating where you put license plates. wtf.
