Front plate in CT??

How many of you CT people drive without a front plate? I really hate the look and just wondering if any of you have run into problems. Thanks!

I've run w/o front plates in CT for 10+ years across 3 different cars. Never had an issue.

That's not to say some cop having a bad day can't pull you over and cite you for it, as it's technically required.

I keep the front plate under the passenger floor mat, with the idea that if I were to be pulled over, I would show the cop that I did have it and try to plead to his aesthetic sensibilities. Probably wouldn't work, but what the heck.

I think I'm going to risk it as well.

I've had no front plate on mine since I got the car and then my Audi before that. I never had an issue with it in Connecticut. I was pulled over in both cars a few times and no one said anything or scolded me for it.

I considered running without a front plate and it's amazing how many BMW's I see here in Fairfield County without one. I went with a US Millworks front tow hook plate mount for 90 bucks to keep law enforcement off my back. LOL Easy install, quality piece.

I really like the US Millworks piece, but from what I ear it plays with the parktronic sensors a bit.

Ya, I read that but I don't have that option. Don't forget to post up some pics when your ride shows up!

I've run three cars for 10+ years without a front plate. Only questioned once at a seat belt check... departed without citation.
If I were younger and had a cigarette and phone sticking out of my mouth, might be different
