I am running no front plate on my Wrx and have been for almost a year in Iowa(which requires it as well)and haven't been pulled over yet. I requested our Mini that we are picking up Sat. to have no holes drilled either. I guess if we get pulled over for them we might put one on, but just try it without for awhile and see what happens

Here is a dealer pic for good measure

 

It just looks so slick without holes! Now I just have to make up my mind.

 

Thanks for the tip
Just ordered the hide a plate with remote
What a great idea!
I'm in southern ca it will pay for itself that's again

 

I just ordered the hideaway
Can't wait it will pay for itself
Save on tickets and the mini with no front plate will look cool!
