Wink Thoughts on Euro Plates

What do you guys think of custom Euro plates...I don't see many people doing this on their front license plate but i think it looks very unique (almost like its a euro / J.Spec car). Problem is that NY bans removing your front plate. .

European front license plate frame is cool. Too bad a US plate will not fit. And of course a European plate frame will not fit the rear of a 350Z US.

Wouldn't you ask the question "Is it legal" before thinking of having one made? Since the cops can spot it in a sec and right you a ticket.

In my city, it is illegal to have any covers at all on the license plate. That doesn't mean cops pull over anyone with a cover over their plates, but if a cop was having a bad day or wnating an excuse to pull you over, they can use the excuse of the plates not being the state's standard.
