Get the hide a plate. The remote is about $150.00 and the manual one is about $50.00. Check out Fleabay.

Since you are in Vegas, I would check the line on the odds of getting a ticket.

I adapted the C5 version of the hide-a-plate to my dd Mini but it works the same.

I have mine on but cover it with the ...whatever its called. I attach it to the plate using the EZPass Velcro. So for inspection I just take it off and go. If I am ever stopped I will try the...Oh crap officer....I was at the show the other night and I forgot to take this off.
Hey,never know if it will work but like 04 said if you are driving normal...chances are they won't bother you.

How many more "I hate front plates" threads do we need-put it on or don't and live with the tickets. Nobody but you cares about how your car looks with a front plate on. AFter a while you won't even think about it-just think of all the rocks and bugs the plate will protect your car against-I say PUT IT ON!
