Default black license plates

Does anyone in cali have pics of their new black plates?

Ive seen a few locals with them, and hopefully a few people in here have them too so they can show them off.

Black plates look great on the cars they originally had them on, & probably are a selling point when car goes up for sale.

I'm going to opt out on them. I don't think that they look as great on the newer cars as the old ones. Some things you just can't bring back, or maybe even try to bring back.

I guess on some cars thats true. Specifically luxury type cars. Believe it or not, i saw black plates on a lexus IS. Those didnt seem to fit so well, but it definitely caught my attention. I think burkens camaro looks good tho.
I have a black ws6 so im hoping it looks good too. Especially since they are pretty strict on front license plates where i live.

They look good on black cars, I've seen quite a few new challengers with them and they looked good.

Different things look good on certain cars, for instance my car is orange and I don't think any "drag" style rim looks good on it vs other colors like black/silver/white.

Idk why but just looks out of place to me.

To each their own though!
