No. As long as you have the NJ plate on top of it.

Here in LA I saw a black 335 with euro plates coming down Laurel yesterday.. Then when i was going back up laurel I saw another black 335 with Euro plates coming down again. Both of them without plates on top. Had to be different cars due to traffic but they were identical. Wierd.

IDK how they get away with it. With my luck, the cops would shoot me if I tried to pull a stunt like that. Looks cool though.

They just beat you senselessly with a stick on the side of the road.

Well, you'd attract more attention if you put on Euro plate only. I drive around with no front plate sometimes, the cops don't pay much attention.

That hasn't been my observation! I wonder how many people are in jail right now as an indirect result of no front plate and or tint

If you drive a lot in the city you'll never get pulled over unless you are actively stabbing someone at the time. NYPD has way more serious things to worry about, like where the nearest Duncan Donuts is
