    I don't think you'll get busted if it's slightly covered, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

    Why do some states require a front plate?

    I never understood the reason for a front one. So if the perp is running from the police & driving backwards.

    Just 1 plate here in GA.

    i just checked it out even further, with my smittybilt, and 2 6inch kc slimlights, the bumper comes with pre drilled holes for lights, but I am POSITIVE, that when i drill new holes closer to the edges and use westins license plate relocator it will all fit perfectly

    I've gotten two tickets in one month. Sucks cuz the second time i was parked at a meter and a robocop decides to give me a ticket for no front plate. I quickly put on my plate after that.

    IMO - It shouldn't have been a ticket... They could have at least given you a warning to fix it first.

    Let's see a pic of it...
