Default No Front License plate

I couldn't help but notice that some of you guys here in Ontario do not have front license plates in the pictures of your vettes. Do you drive them with no front plates? Do you get stopped by the police an get fined? Corvettes, no matter what generation look so much sleeker without the front plate! I'ld like to shed that plate and cover the front.

Yep, happened to me about 3 months after buying my 01.

There's a "velcro" mod available for easy plate removal, search the C5 forum.

BTW, beat the ticket, told the judge my car was delivered without a LP bracket...

I did that before I had personalized plates... I had my plate screwed on....but instead of screwing the front plate on...I velcro'd mine on...easy off and I used the "coming back from a show...forgot to pull it off...let me pull it off in front of you so you cna see how i normally have it'

$138?! It went up I see. I got one in my Trans am once, coming off the exit ramp on the 404. $110.00 2 years ago. I don't see why Ontario needs a front plate, I think only 2 provinces require them, of course ours has to be one of em.

I tried it and got pulled over almost immediately. Bad luck I guess. The ticket was $110. I contested it and got it thrown out but still a paint in the butt.
