Dealer. I just had to buy one (Texas car and MN requires front plates). $37. Held on with 2 screws on the bottom. Comes a fairly flat black and you can hit it with some spray paint if you want. I'm considering painting mine a glossy black but the current color doesn't stand out much so at this point I'm not gonna bother.

I got one ticket for not having a front plate. Got it dropped and now installed the front plate. Having a front plate > $130 ticket. It's just an Acura, it's not a Ferrari and it's not worth paying a stupid ticket over. I'd bet the only person that notices the plate and thinks it's ugly is you.

Aaaaah if it was a $10 ticket here I wouldn't bother either. My parking ticket was $35 but the no front plate was $130. I zip tied the plate on to goto the court house and they were nice enough to drop it.

i recently got pulled over for not having my plates on the front bumper. i just told him i recently just put on my new bumper so i havent drilled any holes in it yet. (never planning on doing it anyways) i think it kills the look with the plate on

whoa @ $130 for no front plate. Here in MD it's only $60, but that $10 sure does sound good!!!

The fine is one thing, but the Army base wont let me on post without a front plate since NJ requires it. They wont let you on without valid inspection either.

I once got a overnight ticket for $18, and on the list there are other violation such as front license plate which cost $70. I guess it varies from state to state
