You do NOT have to turn in the plates. If they qualify, you can keep them.

That's what happened to my wife's green plate last week. We failed since the green was peeling some and the reflective level was pretty poor (1987 plate). Must be from all the salt crap that kicks up on the back of a SUV for so many years. We had to drive to the RMV to get a new plate for free. We saw signs at the inspeciton station that if the green plate is still legible and reflective I can keep mine for my truck. We'll see come July when it goes in for an inspection though...

TG for the green plate. I'll never give mine up. If I had to run a front plate I'd mount it on the black plastic air foil below the nose.

I'll tell ya what I do.. I make sure I have the plate thats is to go to the front in the driver reach .. for the most part the LEO wants to see if you have it and that no one else is using it..

The other is I have a Small replacement the size of a motorcycle on the front again if he stops me I have the big one in the car with me...

just my 2 cents...

I keep my front plate under my seat too but have never had to pull it out.(Ma btw) I took a piece of sheet metal and put a bend in it with some holes to mount too, when inspection time comes around I take 3m double sided tape and stick it on the underside of the fascia in the parking lot, they give me a sticker and it comes right off again. the police have never bothered me about it(including staties) and so I make sure they dont see me with it on and then off again later. going on 5years now
