My Regal didn't have a place for a front plate so I never put it on. In 6 years I have never been stopped for not displaying a front plate (knock on wood) and the only time I have been stopped in that car it was for expired inspection
. The officer asked where my front plate was and I told her I had it at home because I didn't want to drill holes in the front bumper and she didn't say anything else about it. I am not to worried about it, I doubt any serious trouble will come of not displaying it.
