Having a front plate is not that big of a killer ya'll. Honestly I had mine on, but I used one of those relocators where you can "mount" it in the lower grille. Anyway, on to your car, it looks good. All you need is rims.

I've been front plate-less for a little over a year now with zero problems. As long as you don't draw attention to yourself (loud exhaust, obnoxious body kit, drive like an ****, etc.), I would think you'd be aiight.
Well, I got a fix-it for no plate while parked on the street in front of an apartment complex in SF at like 3am. I'd imagine that if I hadn't have been parked on the street, say, in a garage or lot(which, for some reason, this complex didn't have), I doubt I would've gotten the ticked.
I don't know. That same night, another cop tried to get me for parking in a red. guess by parking in, he meant parking close. I had a good 3 feet before the red zone, snapped a pic on my phone and made the cop eat humble pie with his donuts and coffee. That one was at around 5am. All in all, that weekend kinda sucked. It was funny though, one of the tickets said I was an 01 camry, but the other officer thought I was a Subaru. Granted, this was pre-2005, so you can't get too mad for someone not knowing the logo.
