Colorado requires a front plate, though plenty of people run without them. At work I like to back into a spot, but they scan license plates for permitting, so I've had warnings when I don't have a plate on the front. I didn't like the idea of drilling my bumper for the included mount, and wasn't super thrilled with the SnapPlate solution. Fortunately there are companies that will print a license plate replica on reflective vinyl. I went with https://adhesivereplica.com/ since they have Colorado, and I ordered the 11x5.5" version. I did the black "frame" without "screws". It arrived today and went on easily. We'll have to see how it does with the license plate reader at work, but I'm hopeful (not always a great strategy).

Would an adhesive plate like this go on top of PPF?
if it had to be removed, would it damage the PPF?

That's what I did and it seems like it'll hold.

This is interesting. @kneebuster, would you be willing to get a couple more close up pics that shows the whole thing from the side (up close)? Is that black frame vinyl as well, it almost looks like an actual license plate holder from the very front angle you got.

The black border is printed on. It's an option you can select when ordering. Printed bolts are another option, but I skipped those.

I ordered some after seeing this thread but have been hesitant to put them on. I have not been able to sort out if they could result in me getting arrested or fined for forging a government document.

You're joking, right?

No - I can find documentation that supports California allowing it but can not find anything specific on TX. Having a modified plate seems like a potential hazard, but maybe I am being paranoid.

^ I would keep the original govt. issued front plate stored in the vehicle at all times. If you get pulled over and questions arise.. show the PO the original plate. Can't see that being a problem at that point...

I have my government-issued plate in the trunk for any such emergency.

I think you're being a bit paranoid. Worst thing that could happen is a sticker blowing off in the wind. As the member posted above, keep the original plate in the vehicle somewhere if someone wants to see it worst case scenario.

I bought a snap plate and mounted my front plate to it. Put it on so I know how and then took it off. I keep it in the frunk in case I need it. If an officer needs to write me a fix it ticket I can fix it on the spot.
