Of course obscuring your plate is illegal. It's been a big issue here in the NYC area for quite a while as a means of toll evasion. There are various covers that you can buy that filter the view of the plate from an angle and others that are just smokey plastic covers.
You can also buy magnetic leaves that you can attach to partially block sections of the plate. Some people have smeared mud or sticky substances on as well.
Probably the best way to block the view of your rear plate is to install a hitch on your car and always have a bike rack attached in the folded up position.
If your state requires a front plate, that's another issue entirely. You would need to check your local laws. Here in CT, a plate must be 'visible' from the front of the vehicle which allows you to place the plate on your dashboard. Some people just put it there upside-down. I wouldn't do that without making it immovable as there have been some nasty accidents where the plate took off flying like a frisbee during an abrupt maneuver.
