Va cops especially unfairfax cops dont play around. They will site you in a hearbeat for not having one. I got a warning cuz I had the tag in the car under the seat and told him that the "special bracket" was ordered and being shipped from Cali. Got lucky I guess. Tag still sits under the seat

just put one on. it's not going to make that much of a difference on a street driven car. I drove mine with and without on the street comparing temps both in rush hour NYC traffic and highway. guess what? the temps didn't change.

Do not have one on my 7, or my Audi A6 4.2 daily driver. My 4.2 was a Florida car and did not have a plate. To install a plate, you need to drill through the bumper cover- not going to happen! Got one ticket from a meter maid with the 4.2 while it was parked!

I lost mine 2 years ago,
How?
I used to put it on if I parked on the street, just by tucking it in the bumper opeinning so I don't get a ticket.
Yep, I forgot it there and drove off.
Went to PD and reported it lost, they gave me a piece of paper showing that I reported it , that's it.
Got pulled over beacuse of it, a year after, showed the paper and ... peace !

$100 for no license plate in San Francisco? That's crazy! I got one for no front plate on my Miata a couple years ago and it was $10.00 plus you had to get a cop to sign you off when you put the plate back on.
I have never put a front plate on any of my cars. I have only had a problem once and that was when I was pulled over for speeding anyway and he decided to add the front plate violation just to be nice.
