how did you get that letter arrangement tony? I was trying to pick one of the plates off that site, but the letter combos suck.


EDIT: i see now, on the front page.



hell i can't decide which ones for my truck... clearly the burnt orange ones, but my truck is white/black and i think any of those would look clean.


i just want "BLK LNG" as my plates though...

The 7 letter ability should be coming soon. I know they have been out a while for "exempt" vehicles. The vehicle I drive at work has had a 7 letter plate for two years.

Yep Tony got some bad a$$ chit. He said in another thread when some one made a comment like yours that he has like 5 different jobs or something like that if I'm not mistaken. Lots of late nights to.

Still 6 characters for custom plates. And, they don't even throw in the free two spaces between characters any more. I went with this particular style plate due to the star in the middle, otherwise it would have been BMWWHO. On the new custom plates, a space between letters replaces a character.

Tony, that plate is cool, but I did not see it on the myplates.com website.

BTW, for those who can't read on the myplates.com website, the plates aren't $500. They are $50 or $60 per year, but you can reserve them for up to 10 years up front.... Look at the column on top... 1yr / 5yr / 10yr...

Weird, it appears they removed the design I used. It was the only style that had the space in it, now it is gone.

I made my own, i just ordered the cheapest one and did a little cut vinyl designing. The letters are a little bold compared to normal, i had a couple five-0 friends check it out and they said it's cool...hopefully i don't get yanked when someone is having a bad day.

I did this one and then one that is the reverse, all black and white letters. Oh, and i have the letters a little high on the white one.

Pretty brave to be sporting a non-authentic tag. I sure wouldn't do it. Is your car at least registered with RD RACE? Does it still have the reflective properties of a real tag?
