Here in the US, front plate laws vary by state. In NY we are required, but in neighboring Pennsylvania they are not and so I have heard that you can get away with it. You may be ticketed by an overzealous parking agent though. I'm going to see how long I can hold out, but our plates in the US also do not fit on the front of cars so I'll probably have to buy some sort of adapter that I won't have to drill into the bumper for.
I just paid $7k US for it
🙁 Ramen for me this winter.
