    I already yanked the front plate off my truck, so happy we are doing away with them.

    I have a few old Pennsylvania Bicentennial plates and some other older style Pennsylvania plates. I've thought about one putting on the front. I think they are all the same as modern plates since all PA plates since 1956 except motorcycles are 6x12 inches. It should mount fine on the front.

    TX requires a front plate, and it has to be a legal front plate.

    In 10 years I've never had a front plate on any of my cars, and never been ticketed for it.

    If you are not in a state that requires a front plate I think that you can put almost what you want on the front as long as it's not a valid plate in another state. Of course it might get weird if you use a plate of current design and then went to the state that issued it, they might think it was an expired registration.
    Best advice is if police give you any trouble take it off and display it in you garage or man cave.

    That said for antique and some and classic cars Pennsylvania let's you apply to use a Pennsylvania plate from the year of manufacturer as the official registration plate. That's kind of cool but doesn't apply to modern cars.
