 Front License Plate Relocation



I really like the clean look of having the front license plate removed, but don't like the idea of getting a ticket for it. So I was thinking about relocating it down a few inches so that it would sit inside the front spoiler (I think that's what it's called ). Anyway before I attempt to move it, does anyone forsee any possible problems with this? The only concern I could think of was if blocking the space with the license plate might cause an issue. I didn't know if the spoiler aided in cooling the car, and if the relocation could have an impact. This may sound like a dumb question , but I know squat about the engineering and would hate to disrupt anything.
Thanks in advance

I just keep drving around fat dumb and happy without it. Since Porsche, Corvette, Ferrari and the like never have them, I assume nice cars are exempt? I just pretend my Coupe is cool enough that cops lump me in with them and don't bother me.
Seriously, when was the last time you saw either of those cars with one?

In my former life I didn't care about the front tags (of out of state cars 'cause we don't have 'em) other than to see if they were driving under suspension or driving a stolen car. In other words, I'd look to see if they had a front tag, if they had an inspection sticker, and then if they had a rear tag. If they didn't match up, I would turn around and have a talk with them. If they were legit, no ticket/trip to jail. But you'd be surprised how many I found that a) didn't have insurance, b) hadn't registered their car in *years*, and (sometimes or) c) were driving under suspension.

Bottom line is the lack of the front tag may not get you stopped but it *is* probable cause to stop you so mind your p's and q's (i.e. keep that insurance up, don't have a drink, don't let your license get suspended, keep your pants on, etc.)
