License plate removal experiment

FYI I'm down in Myrtle Beach and temps in the high 90's, since I'm from NJ I am required to run with two plates, I removed the front plate and ran in traffic with AC on and off in both instances it lowered my operating temps by 3 or 4 degrees
On my car the plate blocks a significant section of flow to the radiator,now running a little cooler .......AND looks better

Don't forget the practical reality. If you live in a state that requires 2 plates and you choose to display only one, you are more likely to fall prey to the more "revenue" type of tickets, like when parked on the street or in public parking facilities, etc. Same goes for plates positioned inside the cabin and showing through the windshield, plates on hinges, doubled-up plates on the back (officer, my car does have 2 plates!), etc. It is going to be at the discretion of some enforcement person, dispensing these tickets mechanically, with no one around to advocate how rational your situation is. Another fear, as I understand it, is that if the state requires 2 plates, showing only one raises the possibility of the other plate being used on another car...
