where in NY are you from? I drive my Monte SS everyday with no plate on the front and never got any hassle about it.

Yea but after about 6 months the 2 sided tape on the corvettes dries out and the bracket falls off.

MR FBDY, did your monte COME with that front plate insert? i asked 2 dealers and they said only the corvette came with such a insert. i even tried ebay, but no luck.

I drive a Grand Prix in IL, which requires the front plate. I run the Pontiac cover in it's place. Been stopped twice, fined once. They can stop me again and again, I will never run a front plate on anything I own. Ranks right up there with the dumbest laws ever.

really don't know what the solution is. Maybe for lonf term worry free stability I need the holes??? I'll probably let the dealer do a permm install although I really hate the idea of an 18yo with a drill around my car, oh WTF. In NJ no front plate screams------:upset: pull me over!!!!!
