It is a law in California but have driven my 2000GTP for 12 years with no front plate and never been stopped or ticketed for it when stopped for other infractions. For you guys that need to have one for inspection there is a way to do it that nobody would know it was not screwed to the bumper. I did this for show cars that needed to be street legal.

It is as simple as four Velcro squares or dots. To make it look screwed to the bumper just buy some aluminum screen door screw posts. They have a pretty big slotted screw head. It is very soft aluminum so just snip the threaded part off, file or sand the back flat and glue over the top 2 holes in the plate. Put the first 2 pressure sensitive Velcro fuzzy pieces on the back side of the plate. Putthe other 2 near the bottom of the plate directly below the uppers. Stick the matching velcro pieces onto the ones on the plate and carefully press the assembly against the bumper in the place of your choosing.

Nobody will know it is not screwed on and it comes off easily. Better to have to peel off 4 Velcro stick ons then drill holes. It is a pretty clean install and the plate stays on very well.
