Other than that, I agree. Front plate doesn't make sense.
The front plate is also used as a reflective target for Lidar (Laser Radar). $$$$$$$.

California requires a front plate, I have one. I'm not going to provide added incentives to be pulled over.

I have both. I installed my liscense plate where it goes. I then re-attached the filler over the plate using high power velcro. "Sorry officer, but my local corvette club was taking some pictures the other day and I just velcroed that cover on. I guess I forgot to take it back off."

I have the front plate on now! Was pulled over twice by the same Cop in a two week time periord and did not get a ticket, but was told the third time would be it. I think that Cop watches for me so I put mine on. Looks like crap! :o
