I will vote for any style that doesn't make me put one on the front of my Jeep or Camaro.

I don't like them on the front either. But both my wife and I have received tickets for not license plate. On the new car I am going to use the excuse no bracket and see how far that goes.

It might work for a bit. My Jeeps front bumper has no brackets and I have gotten away with it every time. One officer told me it was my responsibility to put brackets on and he would give me a ticket next time. I moved before I saw him again. I have been given grief about it on inspection a couple of times.

My wife's Camaro already had the plate mounted when she bought it so I have left it, but I think it looks like crap.

I got pulled over by a state trooper in my old car that had no bracket for the license plate. He told me "I dont care if your car came with one or not the law is the law" gave me one week to get a license plate on it. Most of the time I got tickets I would just tape the license plate to my bumper take a picture of it and go to court to get it dismissed. Im guessing he probably saw how many times I had been pulled over for it and wasnt going to cut me any slack.

O.K. This thread is not about the front plate, it is about voting for NEW style plates.

Currently the "Lone Star Texas" design is winning by a landslide. The new plate will also include a 7th letter.
