probably just as illegal as not having one at all in the front like i do now.
BTW: in some states front plates are not required ie.michigan

Your lucky your not in CA, or you would have gotten ticketed already.

A euro plate probably won't fit between the bumper pads, considering the us plate doesn't have much room to spare.

in ohio i haven't heard of anyone getting pulled over for just that. i have passed many cops that are radaring me that don't pull me over for it. AND, if they do i always keep the plate in the hatch to show them. I still am unclear whether or not it will fit because i really wanted to put one there, yet i think that it would definetly be a tight fit. Does anyone have the dimensions for a euro plate?

the cops in my town havent said a word to me about not having a front plate.(they hate me so im shocked that they dont say something) id put it on there except i dont have anthing to mout the license plate to. i was also wondering this. i was gonna put a euro plate that just said "Porsche" on there.
come to think about it im not sure where the other plate is.....maybe its in the cubby in the cargo area???

520mm, that is huge! I just measured it out with a meter stick and NO WAY would it fit. it seems that it would cover about 1/4 of each bumper pad.
Thanks anyway.
