did that too because DMV was loosing my papers for a while. drove almost one year without plates. no one ever complained. I had 'dealer' plates on both ends.
otoh, a friend got a ticket for missing front plates.
They won't pull you over if they see the dealer plate on the back though. I had a cop coming towards me, flip a U when he saw no front plate, see my dealer plate, flip another U and go on his way. This was after about 2 years of driving with that dealer plate, mind you.
If you get stopped for something else, you'll get ticketed. It's a fix-it ticket though and costs around $25 and two minutes to get signed off.
