Not sure how it is elsewhere, but California requires a front plate as well. I have never used one on any of my vehicles and will never start. It is only a $15 fix it ticket here. If by some chance you do get pulled over and it would be rare to get pulled over just for no plate, you just zip tie it to the front bumper, have it signed off and then remove it again.
I have gotten 2 speeding tickets in my 350Z over the past 3 years (I know I know) and not one time did they care about my plate. They just asked about the car.
I already have paint matched bumper plugs for the Raptor which will be here in about 2 weeks. First thing is that front plate will come right off and bumper plugs inserted so it is clean looking.
