Arizona
 
now I have to mar the bumper on my Imp because I moved to a 2 plate state
 
IMO I think 2 plates are dumb... I know I'll get flamed but I do.

...Mass that I deal with on a regular basis.
 
Nope - Mass went back to 2 plates about 8 years ago. The old green single plates should be turned in.

No, I feel the same. The rear of most vehicles is invariably designed to incorporate a standard sized plate, complete with illumination. In other words it looks right.
 
The front end however, especially on todays rounded 'aero' designs, is rarely shaped to accomodate one. Even when a moulded plate holder is available, it almost always looks like an afterthought (to me anyway).

What sates don't require a front plate?
 
Pennsylvania.
 
However, in my opinion all states should have both front and rear plates, given all the car related crimes that are committed.

I've never lived in a state that required front plates - those states being: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida and Tennessee.
 
My G35 had a bracket that didn't require holes in the bumper, but the dealer put on a dealer tag with screws that were too long and left nice black 1/4 holes from the flat end of the screws. That isn't the first time that has happened to me either, but I have never had the marbles to cancel an entire deal over it.

For one vehicles today have not been designed to have one. My Impala's front bumper doesn't have a place unless it is tacked on and then it looks just like that - tacked on. Take the many cars out there like the Corvette, Viper, Solstice, Sky, or any number of vehicles, not just sports cars. The front is not designed to have a front plate on it.
 
That is the biggest reason - If automakers would design there fronts to incorporate a plate like they do the rears it wouldn't look half as bad...
