YMMV, so ask people that are local to you, see if it is legal. If not, see what are the chances of you getting owned without front plates. If it is anything like SoCal, you better put those plates on or you're gonna being forking over cash hand over fist to the cops.
So, I gotta ask, how much were your tickets?

They ship a set of 2. Reason why I didn't buy them to begin with (but did later on after my vanity plate got stolen). Plus, I believe they were $30 for a set of 2 a while back, lol! Make sure you order two sets.

Thanks for the info... I just bought another set. Good thing they're inexpensive, or I'd have to go to Home Depot and make my own plugs for my car.

I've driven in WA for 20 years and have never had my front plates on. I have been pulled over once and was given a warning. However, I did get a parking ticket and the meter maid tacked on the "missing front plate" for another $38.

Was it a real maid? Did you get her number? LOL!

I have my front plate off. Nothing so far in WA and in BC, Canada for me.

Not sure if this law still applies, but federal law states if the foreign cars did have a front built-in license plate mount from the factory, the front plate is not required.
