Thumbs up Front License Plate on or off?

So yeah, I've been debating wheather to take it off or not, only problem is I noticed they drilled a hole in the middle of the front bumper for the license plate sadness, so theres like a little hole right in the middle under the Honda Sign. Another problem I've heard is a cop can pull you over for not having your front license plate on. I live in california btw, any suggestions

Leave it on, unless you don't mind drawing extra unwanted attention to yourself from Ponch and John.

hahah yep, thats what my next door neighbor said to do, paint the screws When they gave you a ticket for your ti-c, did they question you about your front plates? o.o? btw how much was your fine for your ti-c?

No she was too busy starring at my pretttyyyyyyy exhaust....lol...

It was a fix it ticket...i put my OEM back on, went to my local Police station to have them inspected then went to court to file the paper work...cost me

$25 total

and the minute i got home i put my TI-C back on...i cant stand driving with such a quiet car...

every time i see a cop i would just pull into the closest street and let them pass

i live in MD where they are strict about having a license plate.

however i go to school during the week in PA where its not required and most people don't have one. So i was looking into a quick remove license plate bracket and it seems they do exist, just not for this car. so when i go home next i was thinking of going to the hardware store to look into this potential DIY.

I live in mass where they suck about front plates and ever since I got my body kit I left it off and so far NOTHING

Hope my luck lasts longer.
