Last time I got a fix-it ticket for no front plate, I zip tied it on (so they wouldn't show) and cut them off as soon as I got home from the CHP.

Now it safely resides in the pouch behind the driver's seat, and I set it on the dashboard if I think I might need one.

It is a much cleaner look without the plate and, with a great personalized plate like yours, it is easy to just say that it was stolen (if the subject ever comes up).

Somebody also makes a front plate holder that retracts underneath the bumper and you can display it when parked.
