I went ahead I ordered an Italian spec plate online in my correct state issued plate identification (did the Torino county mark & put the cars year in the expiration spot) & mounted it to my front spoiler.
Looks good, everybody comments/likes it & so far no problem with the local constables.

You may want to check your local laws....I love that plate, however it is much more likely to be noticed than the absence of a plate because it is unique. In Washington it would cost you $124.... But it is a cool plate!!

I got the plates from Custom European Licence Plates, $29.95 many options for different plates & you can see them mocked up as you design your own.

I know I'm suppose to have the front plates here in Idaho but no Issues yet, If I do go into Washington I put my actual front plate on the dash in the front window so hopefully if hassled I can get by with that.

The nice part is that they are exactly my Idaho issued plates "ARACNID" to match the back. (yes I know its spelled wrong but you can only have 7 letters/numbers on custom plates here in Idaho)
