I'd go with EU plates and put the front one in a snap-closed plate holder and attach that, when needed, with some sort of double-sided tape. If EST plates are plastic with a printed backing, the holder will keep the plate from getting messed up when you pull it - if they're metal, it'll keep you from bending it when you pull it.
The bigger issue will be the rear plate as the US rear panel has different hole spacing that won't line up too great with anywhere on a plate holder. You could use auto body trim tape back there though as well.
