Cool plate! I saw a couple of Michigan cars at the Trans Am Nationals with black plates.

Indiana's plate definitely needs to be altered. But if we painted ours, it would be a blank canvas of whatever shade it was painted. Our plates aren't stamped anymore....they're smooth.

Ohio's new plates are that way. I am keeping my old ones as long as I can they are stamped out.

That looks real good.

I've been thinking about doing this to my front liscense plate. I got a white car and in ca- my liscense plate matches my cars body color. But the front liscense plate doesn't match my black billet grille. I had an aluminum grille but painted it black, so now that I seen how good yours looks I might have to paint my front liscense plate.

COol as hell but I think you'll be totally busted for it on top of your next ticket.

Don't argue with the cop about it. If he wants to give you a ticket, you are going to get a ticket.

FIght it later.

"a pigs point of view"?

WTF is your problem exactly?

Are you another disgruntled civilian who gets picked on alot? Cause if you are.. with that attitude.. you will surely be picked on some more.

a POLICE OFFICER does his or her job. To keep peace and to UPHOLD the law. If you break the law (no matter how small the law might be in YOUR eyes) it is not the POLICE OFFICERS decision to ticket you or not. It is his or her DUTY.

Lets give them a break will ya.

You can now resume making my coffee for me punk.

looks sweet. You'd think this was a MI specific post with how many Mi peeps in here, haha. One guy I know in the area painted his plate black and then had the letters a candy red like his flames... it looked sweet and he got pulled over for it because he left the tags off. Dunno what would've happened if he left the tags on though.
