Front plates required in CA, but I don't have them on the two cars I drive. My wife's and kid's car have them (one is a crossover and the other is a RAV4, so nothing special). I have been ticketed in my C5 at LAX though...they will nail you in their parking garage for $35 a pop. Knock on wood...haven't been pulled over on the street in either the 'Vette or Cobra for no plate.

Texas requires the front plate and I put one on my Cobra after a friend of mine got a $140 ticket in Austin for no front plate. That is the only reason the cop gave him for the stop. The guy that did my inspection also informed me they were cracking down on no front plates in our area. I would rather use the $140 for upgrades than waste it on the crap they spend our tax dollars on around here.

CT requires a front license plate, not aware of any tickets regarding not having the plate, on any type of vehicle, as the only charge.
It might be that not having the plate allows for cause regarding a traffic stop. Have seen the charge in press reports accompanied by other significant charges, such as drugs, alcohol etc., etc.,

Be very careful!!! The plate holder sandwiched bettween the signal light and the body shown in the photo by Clayfoushee tend to create stress cracks in the fiberglass over time due to the large surface area of air that the plate deflects.

If it were only "sandwiched" between the signal light and the body, you might be correct. However, you can't see the additional part of the aluminum bracket behind the plate that loops below the front fender and is attached inside the fender well. There is no deflection at all.

Here in Taxachusetts, its only a $35 fine for first ticket, $75 for 2nd and $100 for 3rd ticket. That is with the red lettered plates they have been issuing for a couple of decades. Of course, my daily beater has a real old green lettered plate, which means you only need the one on the rear.
Why do I know all this? Because I checked it all out when I got a ticket in the mail last week for no front plate on my Cobra. I wish the cop had stopped me, because I have the second plate in the trunk. I might have been able to talk my way out of the ticket. 
I'm going to add a plate in the front when I get my bracket, but I'm going to check out all of the specialty plates and see if there are any that only require one. Probably the YOM plate (Year Of Manufacture) is the only one.
I think the front plate looks ugly.
