they are illegal if your state requires registered front license plates.

if your state doesn't require license plates on the front of your vehicle, then i imagine you can put anything you could reasonably want up there, but it they require displaying registered tags on the front, then they would be illegal...unless you have them both on the front i suppose.

i got my girlfriend a euro plate for her mini to replace the texas front plate, but it has the exact plate # as the texas plate on the rear. and so far (fortunatly) she hasn't been pulled over for it.

i'm tempted to try it, but my car attracts alot of attention, and i still havre warrants.

i actually bought mine off of ebay. the plate was $29.99 WITH the frame and bolts. but i think it was overseas. i paid the expedited shipping and it came to me in less than 3 weeks. regular shipping was less than 3 months. the total was about $50. i'm gettin mine from europlates.com cause i didn't know the plates came in yellow. once i saw it i made up my mind.

I got a ticket for no front plate, went to court judge asked for proof it was on, ran outside, leaned it up in the bumper (xb1) took a quick pic, put plate back in car and ran back to court, free to go!
