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.
Fortunately, Oklahoma has no front tag requirement. On one of my trips to California, I was getting gas and a motorcycle cop pulled in to go inside to the store. He looked at my car from the front and saw no front tag. He pulled out his ticket book, and walked to the back. He saw the Oklahoma tag, and put away his ticket book and walked inside. I had to suppress the urge to point and say nanny nanny boo boo or some other dumb thing. I just smiled and filled up, and left.

And personally I would go with a black frame front and rear.
