That's my plan, Great One. In fact I have the original clears right in the glove box.

However, my plate is still entirely readable and illuminated, so even though it is illegal, it's a stupid law, as I'm causing no harm to anybody. Minnesota plates are dark blue so they look black at night anyway, so now it's actually black, so what?

I don't know about Canada, but license plates here are already in so many different colors and letters and designs, even within the same state.

I know one cop so far at least has looked the other way on this, as I drove right past him.

In Wisconsin, the law is more liberal where as long as it's white, red, or amber, it's legal (asked a Milwaukee cop). This is a sensible law.

Basically my opinion is as long as it's a color that's already there, and doesn't impede readbility or harm anyone, making a law controlling it is excessive government influence in our lives.
