These European Plates are not illegal, but they are NOT legal replacements for your US plate. 


They are used as novelty or in addition to your US DMV issued plate. Not every state has a front license plate law however, so putting them on the front of your car would be ok. 


Most often you could risk a fix it ticket if you had no plate on the front of your car if in a state that requires it, or if you had our plate.
