same here in CA...

thank goodness i haven't gotten pulled over for that yet.. *knock on wood* not having a front plate is kinda like tinting your passenger and driver side windows.. illegal, yes, but only if the cop pulls you over for it.
like everyone said... don't do anything to draw attention to yourself and you should be okay

the red light cameras take pictures of your back plate too, at least that's what my LEO buddie told me...

Ever wonder why you rarely see one on the manufacturer's pictures or how about one of the Ridler Award cars.

Hint....say....... U-G-L-Y!

I drove my cobalt ss for a year and a half without a front plate, a week before i traded it in for my camaro I got stopped at a stupid check point and ticketed.I could have easily sent a receipt in showing i had it installed but i figured what could it cost? meanwhile i taded the car in and sent the ticket in guilty. The ticket came back with a fine of $180 bucks!! I no longer had the car and I had already plead guilty so I just paid it. I was asked by the dealer when i got my camaro if I wanted the plate mounted and told them no. I altered it a little and got it in the lower grille without any drilling. It still bothers me having it on there so lately ive been thinking about the electric retractable mount,just debating because of ground clearance because my car is lowered. Im also in new york and some of the roads here really suck. My other pieve is that new york just changed their plate colors to yellow and blue and they are FUGLY! so now I cant get a custom plate or I will have to go to the new plates and the blue and white match so well.

I zip tied the front plate bracket to the grill and it looks like its permently

if you put Michigan tags on your Camaro you will be fine.. Im a resident of Michigan too and I have them mail my tags to me every year to Texas. If you dont want to go that route Jab Fab on moderncamaro.com has front plate mounts for $88 that are secured at the bottom of the front bumper
