But Frank has a very good point. It's arguable that the mod won't gain you anything.

I have heard both things regarding California law. I think you won't get pulled over for having your front plate on your dash, but you'll probably get grief if your pulled over for something else.

I was thinking of using reflective-backed numbers that match the size of my license *and* match the reflectivity of California plates (by shear accident) *and* leaving the front plate on my dash. Even though I would be exceeding the spirit of the law, it's been argued that I would be accused of "counterfeiting" the plate, so I didn't do it.

I have also seen "Euro-plates" in LA, which are narrower and therefore easier to fit onto a bumper.
