So Ive seen some cars, both on the road and on the interwebs, with regular license plats that have either been cut or folded so that all you can see is the numbers.
They look super classy, but I cannot find a whole lot of information on it. I was wondering if anybody else has ever done this themselves or heard of anybody who has? I got pulled over today for not having my front mounted so I need to get it on there asap, but If this is legal then I'd definitly be doing this pretty soon. I quickly grabbed these two pictures but I was more thinking of going for a look closer to the first one. If anybody has any input on their illegality please let me know!

We have to have a front plate here... but you don't have to have it in the OEM location. It can be anywhere as long as it's "Visibly mounted" and not modified (as the DMV charges you for the plates and you get money back for turning them in, in one piece).
So I dropped and tilted mine:
