Funny, I saw a silver E0 at The Parking Spot North location at DFW airport. It was the first SVT that I had seen in Texas in years.
The front plate isn't really an issue. It's more of an additional offense to the fact that you were already speeding, etc. I drove my truck for a while without a front plate, because it got torn off in a minor accident in Michigan, and it did get mentioned when I did get pulled over while driving through DFW airport, but the real reason was because I was speeding a little. I got off with just a verbal warning. I drove my Jetta without a front plate for the entire two years that I had it. When I got pulled over and ticketed for speeding, the cop never even mentioned it. My SVT in Texas doesn't have a front plate or bracket, but I'm willing to bet that it will be my lack of state inspection sticker and registration sticker that will get me pulled over before that, although an oncoming cop might think that it was normal for those things to be missing if there is no front plate. My SVT in Michigan came from Texas, so it does have the front bracket on it, and I keep the Texas plate on it to keep Michigan cops from bugging me. It's worked quite well so far. :laugh:
