Modified tag in PA - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I have always noticed in auto commercials the vehicles license plates are painted to color match the car. Never really question it as I figured i was a closed coarse.

So the other day I am on I-95 and see a nice Mercedes S600, PA tags, but 100% chrome except for the sticker.

I assume it would be asking for trouble, and I dont plan on doing it. But I am curious is that even Legal?

They have a section for obscured plates, anything that will make a red light camera not be able to read the plate or if the plate is too dirty or unable to be read from a reasonable distance is a violation. If the plate is color matched and you cant make out the number yes its a violation or if its chrome and the sun is glaring off it and you cant read it that would be a violation.
