Seems like the city of LA is insisting that I have my front plate mounted. They constantly remind me through little letters that cost me $25. At this point it seems they don't even have to pull you over anymore. They can just write you a ticket as you pass them by.

Thanks for the heads up. Already ordered it from the source. Now I can be mad at myself for not waiting.
I had the same problem here in Columbus Ohio. Got the same kind of letter. So I went and made my own out of stainless steel the next weekend. I just couldn't run screws into the bumper, so I also used the tow hook location. They don't bother me anymore.:mad5:
Not to self: do not relocated to Columbus, Ohio in hope of front plate free existence without a hassle.
