That is a good idea BUT there was a recent story in either the Guadalajara Reporter or The News of a missionary family doing that somewhere in the north of Mexico and being charged with having fraudulent plates plus other charges. We added a vanity type of plate to our vehicle which will pass from a distance at check points.
