They are required in IL as well but I haven't had a front plate on my cars in 10 years, including our X3 we got last year.
A cop actually pulled me over last month for going 38 in a 25 (was going 35, but went over a hill where the cop was waiting). For some reason (still have no clue why) he let me go with a warning and that was after he asked where my front plate was, I immediatly (and calmly) said that we just had the front bumper replaced and they didn't have a bracket for it yet.
I don't think they can pull you over for not having a front plate but they can give you a ticket for it if they pull you over for something else (like speeding), I just got lucky I guess, caught a cop in a good mood? I think he saw the two car seats in back and liked my Nightmare Before Christmas family sticker on the back (mocking the mini van family stickers).
