A front plate is required in Texas, so running without one would just be pressing my luck. The Stillen-type adapter (same as others on the market) really solves the problem for me. If I ever want to take it off, for whatever reason, I can and I'll have a smooth bumper to show. Chances are slim that it will come off very often, but $60 was money well spent to avoid the holes. I've always hated seeing a bracket screwed into a bumper cap.

$60 will more than pay the ticket, plus its worth it to leave it off and have your coupe look its best

Stillen Bracket

I have also purchased the Stillen bracket for my OHIO 05 6MT. Looks great and now I do not have to worry what the cops would say or fine me if I were caught without. Screws directly into the tow hook thread in the center of the front bumper. Good Luck!

In Texas....it is a law but a VERY loosely enforced law.

I've been pulled over twice in two months since I bought my '05 Coupe. They NEVER mentioned my front license plate.

I have been without a front plate now for a year. No ticket yet. I keep it in the trunk and figure I will tell the cop I never had the dealer put it on (they were going to have me come back and put it on, but I opted not to...). I figure I could get out of at least one ticket this way....

Second of all, not all states require a front plate, so if its just on in the back then they would need to see you from the front to first notice there is no plate, and then the back to see you are from that state.
I couldnt have said it better. I used to put my front plate on my dash as well and I got a ticket for misplacing. I took it away all together and never again did I get a ticket...*knock on wood
