I think most dealers will leave the hardware in the trunk for you to do it if you want it put it on.

Most police officers will not look at the front of the car during a stop, however not having it can give them a reason to stop you. I had that happen to me once. Where I live now they care more about no front places and really use it as a reason to stop you. I prefer no plate, but don't want to go thru the hassle of being stopped every so often.
