Well I am not sure it can be registered (pass inspection) in NY state without a front plate

I think NJ requires one too, but that's not really relevant here. It's formerly a PA-registered car that never had a front plate: no holes in the bumper or any other obvious way to mount a plate.

It will now be registered in NY state and, AFAIK, NY inspections require both plates to be on.

So I have no other option than to drill 2 holes into the bumper myself?

I think there is another option. There is a front plate holder for the towing hook. Not sure.

I would try to go thru inspection like that. If they register it then you good to go. If the cop stops you and gives you a $30-40 ticket just say it to yourself it is a beauty tax.

The front plate is something I have never really liked personally. There are products on the market like this.

Good Old Ebay

If you are planning on showing your car or taking it out of state or for some reason want to remove it just unscrew it.

Once you install the tag you will get used to it it is not that obtrusive on the front of a G as it seems.

Glad Florida don't make you have that ugly thing on the front of the car...

What is the point of two tags anyway?

There was no charge that i was aware of.There was a 4 year NJ registration fee but when the plates arrived, the dealer called me & I drove over and they put them on. I think I also received a free car wash also?
