At first I got it for show purposes to mount in front of the G I had but now I am trying to find out if there are fees I can pay to transfer my registration to these plates. Does anyone have information on that? I might be out of luck on this but if anyone has information that would be great. Thanks

If you lived here, Alberta, Canada...you could do it. And lots do. We don't need a front plate here and that's why. There are some gawd awful plates ranging from the tourist "I've been there" to the truckers naked lady (that you see on big mud flaps).

IMHO, the Euro-plate and the Japanese ones would look good on the front. Personally, and because I live here, I never put a front plate on. If you don't need one... it looks disgusting.

Edit: me bad, I just read what you wanted to do. I don't think that's possible anywhere. Good luck.

There are no states that will allow you to register those, as your own plates. Even if you could here in Cali, you would still need two matching, in which you said you only have one.
When I imported my e36m3 from Japan, I was running on Japanese plates for two months, waiting to get the registration translated. I got stopped and pulled over about once a week for the plates. Never got a ticket though, as it was legal to do, since I did have the paperwork from the DMV.
