Unless they're really bored, few cops will pull a car over just for a missing front plate, but it'll get added on to to any "real" ticket you happen to get. Or so claimed the CHP guy I parked next to at the gun range. I had four front-plate-free years with the Boxster and the Corvette, no issue. (Still have both those plates on the wall of my garage, come to think of it.)

It's just a 'fix-it ticket' in any case.
