Illegal to drive without front plates in Ontario?

Hey Guys,

Is it illegal to drive without front plates in Ontario? I know it may sound like a silly question, however, i just need to be certain as I drove by two modded cars today without front plates, and it would look so much better when i get my inven front bumper w/out plates.

I have been rockin a plate in the front window for about a month now without a problem. The nice thing about our dash/windshield is that its setup so the plate sits at a good angle for the popo to see it. The plate actually slides down in between the dash and windshield and sits real nice n snug. This is just my experience tho, don't blame me if you get ticketed :P

Glad there's no front plates in Quebec....LoL... and yeah, you guys are required to have front plates.

You could get something like this and hide the plate at car shows/meets.

Could be mounted at the bottom of the bumper since the G35 doesn't have a lower center grille.

This is my front plate:

I carry it in the trunk along with a new mounting bracket so if I'm stopped I can say that I haven't had a chance to get a replacement since the accident. It worked once, about a month later.
It's been almost a year and a half now, so I'm starting to think that line of BS might be past it's expiry date.
It helps to be just across the river from Gatineau, blending in with all the Quebec cars with only one plate.
