You can have that on the front of your car in any state that only requires rear plates.. So like if they only tell u that rear plates must be on , u can put anything you like in the front.

I wonder if you'd get away with it anyway...?
I've noticed a few cars driving around with European plates (not sure exactly which country, just that they were European). Of course, I'm sure they had legitimate reasons for using them, so if you ever did get pulled over, you'd be screwed. But maybe cops would just assume you were allowed to use them, and therefore not bother you...(yeah, right)

Uh thats not true, I had Euro plates on my car.. It doesnt matter to cops as long as your rear plate is legit and the state only requires rear plates. Having a euro plate or any plate in the front means nothing to anyone but the driver . thx

I meant that I've seen some cars driving around with rear Euro plates. No U.S. plates in sight.

hehe, once i was cleanin the gunk behind my rear plate and polishing my chrome plate frame, and had to move the car, so while i was on my street i decided go for a little spin having forgotten the rear plate in the garage (and i don't have a front plate on to begin with...), i got through almost 3 towns before getting pulled over by 3 cops.........so make sure at least your REAR plate is legal.....(and attached..)
later. -shawn

The rules for Ohio anyway - taken from the local police web page:
"License plates are also often the topic of discussion. Ohio law requires that two plates be displayed, unimpaired, on the front and rear of the vehicle and that they must be firmly attached. Although tinted covers are sold at most local stores, they are not "street legal". Neither are the frames that go around the license plate if they obstruct any of the stickers, including the county sticker. At no time may the plate be anywhere but the front of the vehicle and rear bumper, except for a temporary tag. These tags must be attached firmly to the vehicle. Also remember that a white light, making the plate visible, must light up the rear tag. The neon license plate frames cause difficulties with the plates at distances and are not permitted."

Yeah I got a front plate ticket too while parked. But that was because they just installed those new red-light-runner traffic cameras. They gave me a ticket to make sure they can give me another ticket later on. Grrrr!
Besides, didn't we already have a discussion on this board about how much cleaner the TL looks without the front plates?
