any pics or links to easy mounts would be awesome

there is a clearance of 4.5 inches on the grill below the logo and my Ontario plate without obscuring the numbers bent into place is secured with zip ties for now on my 2018 AMG C43

Sorry you got stopped. Just curious what state you are in. I’m in New Jersey which also has the stupid two plate law. I really don’t want to put the font plate on but don’t want hassle/fine etc that you are going thru.

Any other Jersey owners opt to not put on the front plate? Are you getting stopped?

Connecticut here, same law for 2 plates. I only have the rear and no one bats an eye *knocks on wood*. If you have a stanced out civic though without a front plate best believe you'll get that ticket all day. Guess it depends how enforced it really is in your area.

Thanks for your feedback...yeah, I think you're right. Or if you get pulled over for something else, speeding, registration etc, they may hit you for not having the front plate. Or at least that is what I've heard lol

I've never ran a front plate and (knock on wood) haven't been pulled for it. I live in CA also where two plates are the law also. I think what others have said holds true. If your car doesn't draw alot of attention you should be fine. The ones that are heavily modded and draw attention, will ultimately get pulled first. Over here it's just a fix-it ticket so it does't bother me as much. Also depends how "busy" the cops are in the area...
