I'm in Louisiana, (no front plate required). When I see a car, any car, with a front plate, it gives me that feeling you get when you're talking to someone who has something stuck in their teeth. It makes me rub my nose... just annoying to me.
that being said, I've run into a few of these "front plate" threads and I'll post the same youtube link I usually post:
I know this one says New York, but this would be a must-have for me if I lived somewhere that required a front plate.
I also realize that being a motorized add-on it's one of those things where "the more complicated it is, the more chances there are for it to go wrong."
