In CA it is the law to have a front licence plate. You could be pulled over for not having one. With that said....I don't have one and haven't been pulled over for it. They make mounting brackets for winch fairleads that you can get to be compliant though. Just haven't done that myself yet.

DIY front mount
This is a mount I made with some items from the local home improvement store.
These are the material used. You will need 2 packages of clamps.
The first thing to do is put the clamp on the roller head and use a hammer to reshape them to fit tightly around the roller
Long side of clamp after
Short side of clamp after
Clamp before and after
Cut steel to proper size
you will want to mount one side of the clamps on the steel plate with the long side of the clamp towards the outside. Test fit this on the roller head and mark the location for the other clamps.
Test fit the final assembly and paint it when your done
Final product. The mount is very difficult to install on the rollers because the clamps are so tight. You will need to secure one side at a time to get on both rollers. I been running it for a few weeks and haven't had any problems with it.
Hope this helps

California Vehicle Code 5200 covers the need to have two license plates mounted when two are issued by DMV.
It won't keep him out of a ticket, but its a correctable violation (fix it ticket).

I have ran without a front license plate for over a year and didn't have an issue...then a state trooper with nothing to do decided to pull me over about a week ago on my way to work for not having one...got a warning...needless to say, I am now in the system and will be more closely watched. But i have not put a plate on the front, seeing if i can get by. but i did but a license plate mount from EVO just in case.
