I'm in Chicago burbs too. Bought my C6 used & it had a bracket. Went to many car meets & I think I was the only guy running a front plate. No way I was putting one on the Z that I just got. Got detoured because of a running race recently and had to drive slowly past many cops. They didn't say anything.
It is the law, and we are running the risk of getting the ticket by breaking it, but (knock on wood) I've come out ahead so far!

You have completely misunderstood my comments. I understand full well that's it's not enforced in most places. I'd prefer not to have the front plate either, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of purchasing a bracket that I can take on and off in 2 seconds.
What is annoying is the "don't do it" folks who seem to think just because it's not an issue for them, it's not for anyone else.

I would prefer not to mount a license plate on my soon to arrive 2019 GS, but unfortunately in Oregon it is mandatory....
Are there any ways to keep a front plate from looking crappy? Pictures?
Any luck running without a front plate (for a long time) in a state that requires it?

I just wanted to say that I predicted the groundhog day nature of this thread back in post #3. The two camps on this issue are never going to agree so I'm not sure there is much more to say.
I will just add that I find the pic of the "LIVE FREE OR DIE" license plate motto contrasted with the "put this plate on your car so we can track your every movement with cameras" hilarious.

I just used the one that came with the car and bent the plate to fit. I don’t really like it, but I figure its one less excuse to give the cops to pull me over....

If you have to run one, there’s a frame that snaps in and out no mounting hardware. They’re all ugly but at least you can take it off whenever you want.

I live in Oregon no front plate on it for three years now with no problems.
Fingers crossed

Didn't read all the comments so if this is redundant, sorry. I'm in Texas and it's required but many friends are LEO's and as they say, I don't fit the profile so they won't pull me over for just no front plate. Haven't had a plate on my GS for a year, no issues. After two tickets I might think about it. 😎

The LEOs here are desperate to ticket anything to raise local revenues. You guessed it, front plates required. ChaChing$$$
