    Euro plates

    Im getting some european plates for my car here in the next few weeks and they are going to match my personalized plates from the DMV. has anyone ever been pulled over because of this or had any trouble with having euro plates on their cars? Do cops really care as long as the match? i was thinking about just throwing one on the front.

    I've had my plate on for almost over a year with no trouble yet, passing cops left and right.
    I have a friend pulled over twice in less than 6 months for one.
    We live in the same city.

    It's just a chance thing.

      100% to what he said. It's purely chance.
      Some CHP officers go after it to make their fold, if they aren't doin well for the day. :D
      I got a fat parking ticket from the SFPD, but I maneuvered out of it.
      I was pulled over for it in Lake Tahoe, and I talked my way out of it.
      Don't trip. ;)

        My Euro plate matches the real plate. I've gotten pulled over once but he didn't give me a ticket.

          I've been running just a euro plate on the REAR of my car for about three months now, with no issues. I've passed/ seen/ been tailgated by countless cops. Since I live in Florida, I put "FL-plate#" on it. It's technically illegal, but nobody seems to care.

              i'm pretty sure if your in ca, the front doesn't really matter as long as you have the original rear plate then your good.
              Bought parts from me before? leave your feedback here

                I have had all my cars with no front plates for years and I've never been pulled over, once.


                But I'm afraid to install my euro plate and make it noticeable for the cops. eh no I'm not, just haven't had the time to put it on.

                  Ive benn pulled over maybe about 3 times in a course of a year for my front Euro plate never got a ticket for it though. I say run the front one leave the back original especially in Cali where everything is illegal.

                          I've thought about a euro front plate with matching numbers, but I got a $216 no front plate ticket a year ago. Not worth it imo
