Default Euro plates are legal everywhere.

Now whether you can get away without a US plate as well is a different question... =)

It is not legal because new york state require vehicles to have front and back plates! But I think you can put it on because the NYPD aint to smart to realize you are a NYS resident!! hahaha

Default NJ Residents cannot get a no front plate ticket by NY Police

it is not in their juristiction to ticket a vehicle that is not registered in NYS. Same with NY Residents in NJ, cannot get tickets enforced since vehicle is from another state.
