Default I got my new plates for the Z06... thinking that I got the wrong color

Well I have "BAD WS6" for the WS6, and wanted "BAD Z06" for the z06 but it was taken . Most of you may not know but for a fully customized plate in Texas it is $195 a year now. But if you get a comibination of 3 letters and 3 numbers then its cheaper. So I was able to get the "BAD 346" plates for $225 for 5 years (Not what I really wanted but couldn't really figure out anything bad *** with the three letter/three number combo). Anyways, I just picked them up today. And not really feeling the look. Thought it would look better, maybe a red plate? Maybe if I put black wheels on/blacked out the rear lights? Thoughts and opnions are appreciated.

It looks fine. Their red plate will not match your red anyway.

Its as nice as license plates come lol. Looks good dont change anything about the car to match a plate. Black taillights and wheels are too common.

The state gave it up and turned it over to a "for profit" conpany. You have to decide how bad you want it. I paid $200 for the truck and the Camaro is grandfathered until/if I change the plates.

$195 yearly? I thought it was a one time fee.

You can have any color you want for the $$$$ A lot of cool choices. Yes, thats a year. There is a discount for multiple years if interested. You can get the colored plates with a random number for a lot cheaper.
