Keeping a car registered but not insured?

So I found out I may be leaving the state sooner then I originally thought and I am looking to un-insure my Camaro soon for the rest of the year and a few months into next year to save some money, but the only thing I'm unsure of is keeping my personalized license plate. So before I call the DMV on Monday and spend hours on hold has anyone had experience with doing this before?

My insurance agent explained to me that I have to turn in the plates for the Camaro, but I recently got my custom ones over the summer and don't particularly want to turn them in and have to do it all over again when I return in June. My residence will still be in Jersey when I return in June, but I‘ll still be out of the state for the rest of the year. He also said that if I do keep them, when I go to re-insure the Camaro the DMV will send me a fine in the mail when the car pops back up insured, but I haven't been able to find out how much that fine is and if it’s worth just paying just to hold onto my plates.

So what else is there to do?

I don’t really pay much for the Camaro a year to begin with, but I get a multi-car discount with my daily driver that my parents will be using while I’m away. I just don’t want to go through the hassle of ordering new plates.
