The law in my province is i must have a license plate attached to the front of my vehicle so i got an idea...
I don't want to put my plate back on because it would look like crap (ugly-looking plate) but what if i bought a Japanese License plate and put my actual license plate numbers on it? Now the only problem with this is that my plate has 3 numbers, a small space and then 3 letters. You do get the option of having to extra numbers put at the top of the license plate (however, they are small). So i thought to myself... What if i ordered a japanese plate, have the 2 smaller numbers at the top be the year of my car (08) and order a blank plate (no numbers or letters) and just put on decals or magnets for my numbers and letters. Plus if i ever got tired of it, i could easily change it to something else. I thought this was a pretty good idea however, the decals/magnets wouldnt look as good as real numbers and/or letters.
the only reason i thought of this decal/magnet idea is because the japanese plates only offer up to 5 characters. I would need 6 and a small space incase anyone was unaware
What do you guys think?

I would think that would be illegal. Don't know how things are up north of the boarder but down here in the states, the license plate must identify the state that the car is registered in. And I would like to assume that it would be the same for you up north of the boarder as well.
