my 545 came with the plate mount installed in the front, i was interested in getting the custom euro plates in front with different lettering than the dmv one in th e rear. My question is what kind off experience you guys have had with cops with regards to this. NeRwEEzy, your plates are what inspired me.

I did ED on my car and ran Euro plates on the front and back without any issues with cops. But I would say running Euro plate in the front will attract more attention than not running a plate at all. Depending on where you live and the cops that you run across, they probably wont give you a ticket just for that.

Being in law enforcement myslef i know this...
A patrol officer probably won't pull you over for the plates alone.. BUT they can use them as probable cause and pull you over just to mess with you. In any case, they can find probable cause if they try hard enough.
I just saw you live in Irvine. Having lived there myself for 5 years when I went to UCI... the cops will probably mess with you for these!
