My dealer will NOT screw a plate into MY bumper under penalty of death. Front plates are required in Ma. and my dealer fastens them to the front lower black grill with black cable ties. A front plate is required for an ispection sticker. I removed the plate and tossed it in the boot when I picked up the car. I carry a few black cable ties in case I get stopped.
I here you on the front plates.

Will the police actually let you fix the problem on the spot?
I don't know, I'm ready to if needed to. We went on a run a few weeks ago, and a wide group of cars were present. There were 9 Benzes, F cars, L car, and a host of rice cars with very young drivers. We started out into heavy traffic, and the youngsters started racing and weaving in thick 80 mph traffic on 4 lanes. I camped out in the high speed lane and watched them cut and weave, pissing off a lot of Sunday moterist with cell phones. All of this foolish action gained them little ground, as I was able to observ them for many miles. When we got to out regrouping rest area the State Police arrived and got on their bullhorns with a warning to DRIVE SAFELY, WE HAVE RECIEVED MANY COMPLAINTS. I thanked them as they drove past. Many of the Benzes were without front plates. The police wrote up two very visibly parked TR-4s, one for no front plate and the other for shooting sparks from his muffler. I have a vid of the regrouping area. I can post it if you like.
