Default Need Help : Problem with front licence plate

Guys..
Here is the problem.
I live in PA where front licence plate does not require, so I put euro plate a few years back.
Now, I have to relocate to Texas within a month, and Texas requires front licence plate.
If I replace the euro plate to Texas plate, there will be 4 big holes in the front bumper since the euro plate is longer than US plate.
I was thinking to leave the euro plate, and put the Texas plate under the euro plate, but it will not work because there is no place to hold the Texas plate.
Do you guys have any good idea?
Thanks for your responses.

Remove Euro plate, use bumber plugs to fill holes, put on Texas plates.

Default Beware Spy Cams like front plates and to take pics of the driver

So front plates could be coming your way.


they don't trouble me to be honest - apart from on Alfas such as the 156 where they obviously ignored the fact many places needed them.

Default where did you get that plate?

I'm in Texas also. I've been winging it without any front plate for a while now. Still, yours is a good backup.
