If that's the way you roll, then roll on Brother!

As a great man once said (I think it was G.I. Joe) "knowing is half the battle."

I find it ironic when I see U.S. plates in the windows of German cars and commercial trucks. I've seen them from almost every state and D.C., and they are almost never vanity plates. A guy a few doors down has a Utah plate in the back window of his Opel wagon. I asked him one day if he had friends or family in Utah and he looked at me in confusion. I mentioned the plate and he laughed and said Ebay. I guess they are status symbols same as Euro plates are to us.

I hope to return to a State that doesn't have a requirement for two plates so I can use my current German plate up front. I got a lot of good memories logged with them.

Nevada has recently become a one plate state IF your car is not equipped with a front plate holder.

I got mine from europlates.com. It came quick, and correct. I would recommend. The only thing is, what do I use to fasten the plate holder to the bumper. There are already holes there drilled.....

I have to admit, the quality is all that I expected, and I really like the bracket and hardware, well worth the investment. Tomorrow I will get it on the car and take some pics

Thanks. Yeah, the quality is nice. I like that they have the euro surrounds that bolt straight to our American plate holes.

you should not have to drill to fit the hardware/holder, it is designed to fit into the existing holes for the US plates....but then again, if you don't have those holes drilled already, then you have to.

no holes for front plates on mine, It does have two very small dimples that show u where to drill if u were to add a plate though.

I would love to do this, but if I put in holes, NV law would require me to use my front plate. No holes, no plate required.

Darn

BTW...it is against the law in Colorado to have your "state" plate (the one required for the front of the car) in the front window...it must be on the front of the car, not inside the cabin propped against the window.

Funny, that people in Germany want our plates and display them with pride, and we want euro plates. Grass is always greener...etc.

Florida is a one plate state as well. I am very glad...I would hate having to put a plate on the front also!

South Carolina is a rear-only plate state also. As a result, I'm planning on getting a front Euro plate. Don't really want to drill holes but I think the cars look awesome with the front plates on so I don't think I care that much!
