New California Boxster Owner * Are euro-style front plates legal?

I want to get a euro-style plate...

Are they legal?

Cops will not give u a ticket just because u don't have a front license plate but if you put those Euro plate on, I'm not sure if you can get away with it.

I live in los angeles and i drove around in my 1965 Porsche 912 with a Euro-frontplate and never got any grief from the police about it. You'r fine but dont hold me to that if you get a ticket... cause you never know.

I agree with CJ...i got mine on my previous Benz' and never got pulled over coz
of the plate (knocking on the wood) and I already installed one in the replacement of the C230

Hopefully i won't get pulled over on the way home

Two years ago there was a big push by law enforcement here in LA (and it may have been state-wide) to get owners to install the front plates. Two friends were ticketed so i reluctantly put the front plate on my Box. Not sure if it is still being reinforced, tho.

I've been pull over twice for having euro plates, it said the same thing as my regular plates but they still wrote me a ticket-fixed it ticket. local police it's ok, but it's more on the chp.

Therefore there is no 100% NOT getting pulled over for no front plate.
It really depends on the officer's mood I guess.

So I guess we can close this saying that it's not legal but tolerated most of the time..
