Only thing you might get hit for is the height requirements and "plain visbility" clause which is left purposely ambiguous to be left up to officers discretion, the same way words like "annoying", "disruptive", "offensive" or "disturbance" are used in public nuisance and disorderly statutes. Some towns/officers will enforce it on sight just because of the towns mentality towards it, most will probably only enforce it if you piss them off ie. loud music, loud exhuast, driving around looking like a dirtbag or fist pumping jerkass who you wouldnt give two ****s about giving a bs ticket too...same as tint, things hanging from the rear view, etc...etc.

"NJSA Title 39:3-33. Markers; requirements concerning; display of fictitious or wrong numbers, etc.; punishment (markers: plates)

39:3-33. The owner of an automobile which is driven on the public highways of this State shall display not less than 12 inches nor more than 48 inches from the ground in a horizontal position, and in such a way as not to swing, an identification mark or marks to be furnished by the division; provided, that if two marks are issued they shall be displayed on the front and rear of the vehicle;........."

yadda yadda...

"The identification mark or marks shall contain the number of the registration certificate of the vehicle and shall be of such design and material as prescribed pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1989, c.202 (C.39:3-33.9). All identification marks shall be kept clear and distinct and free from grease, dust or other blurring matter, so as to be plainly visible at all times of the day and night.

No person shall drive a motor vehicle which has a license plate frame or identification marker holder that conceals or otherwise obscures any part of any marking imprinted upon the vehicle's registration plate or any part of any insert which the director, as hereinafter provided, issues to be inserted in and attached to that registration plate or marker.
