Wont you get hassled for no front plate?

I don't think it will take long for cops to harrass me but so far I haven't even gotten a second look. I've only drove it at around 8 am and 3 pm, super busy lol.

Thanks.

It's a 5.4.. So far no phaser issue. My dads the only previous owner and I'm able to maintain his extended warranty for another year and/or 55k miles so any issues should only cost me the deductible at max. The only issue he's had with it thus far was a u-joint related issue.

Thats good to hear! Hopefully it stays that way. I know way too many buddies who've spent thousands on the issue fixing it and were not happy. Buddy a mine had his start at 111k and he was ticked. Went to the dealer they told him how much it'd cost and then told him its just a tick nothing to worry about you'd be basically paying to fix an annoyance. So he didnt do it and it blew shortly after. He was one ticked person.
