Looks great. Of course, the police may have a different view.

Now all you need is a beach house there as well as here at home. Bet island cruise-ins are something.

I had a cop pull me over once for not running the legit front plate. It must have been a slow day for him.

Some states do not require a front plate so you can use whatever you want.

CA is not one of those, and apparently, neither is Ohio.

Arizona does not require a front plate, but it is illegal to have anything resembling a real plate from anywhere.

In PA there are no front license plates. And we can put plates of any kind on the front. When PennDot changed the color and style of our plates several years ago, I put the old plate on my front. It does match my real plate on the rear "54 F100".

I'd think you'd be OK as I've seen virtually everything else on the fronts of GA vehicles. So, did you take a cruise and buy it? That's what I did, but I can't make myself put one on my truck as I like the "clean look."

We flew down and spent a week at the beach. This could be my last flight , as air travel has become to much of a hassle ,long lines , rude people , and high costs . We could take the panel or car and drive around this country , to see all the sites , for three weeks for less then this trip cost .

I used to run an Aruba plate on the front of my old golf cart and nobody bothered me but mine was orange, it is one happy island.
