By the way the law was killed at the subcommittee level. It didn't even make it to the House. There are some Illinois congressmen/senators who are advocating abolition of the front license plate as it would save the state 1-2 million dollars per year in aluminum and production costs, but there is a police organization which is fighting against the law.

I think eventually the front license plate will be dropped as the state budget becomes tighter and tighter. For now though I risk getting ticketed when I drive in Chicago. I'm in the northern suburbs (Deerfield, Buffalo Grove etc) and there's a lot of luxury cars with no front plate driving around and cops couldn't care less. The "mafia" that runs Chicago though is a different story.
