Missouri is one of the many states that require a front license plate but I'm not a big fan of them for my 914 and Vette's.
I don't have a license plate frame on the front of my chrome 914 bumper, but have two square holes for plastic bolt inserts to bolt on the plates. is there a method to put a euro plate on? If so, where would you get a plate? Are there ways to cover up the square holes without a plate? |

Here in Texas front plates are mandatory, and if you get stopped they will give you a ticket for not having one. The exception are antique and classic plates.
One of the reasons for it is so they can use the front plate for a lidar target. Lots of new cars don't have a flat place on the front to reflect the laser. It also is used for the toll road billing. They take a picture of your plate, and send you the bill. I run a front plate because I don't want the hassle of dealing with the cops. But there are lots of people out there that don't install them, so I don't know how much enforcement is done on it. |

Several years ago during Boxtoberfest in the TX Hill Country, the sheriffs were out in force knocking off Porsches for not having a front plate displayed. I've avoided the temptation to get rid of the front plate on my Boxster since then. |
