Nice! Didn't the regiatration card come
With the plates? Mine did!

See my signature for my vanity plate

Calidrifter 07-05-2012 04:27 PM

Nope, I've had these since I had my 240sx (then EVO 8, then Tacoma) so I just have to wait on registration to clear and to get my new month and year stickers.

Indestruct 07-05-2012 04:30 PM

86design 07-05-2012 04:47 PM

oso_25 07-05-2012 05:59 PM

earthsscum 07-06-2012 01:22 AM

Gaiakai 07-06-2012 01:45 AM

Got mine 6/12, got my plates around 6/27 or 6/28 ish (few days after registering). Planning on getting vanity plates soon :D

Symbiont 07-06-2012 03:16 AM

You can try a front tow hook mounted plate holder.

Wow it looks like it takes a while before vanity plates come in huh? I better get to ordering lol :bonk:

Symbiont 07-06-2012 03:52 PM

The site said 90 days, estimated. /shrug

Calidrifter 07-06-2012 04:16 PM

I got mine in about 30-45 so about a month, month and a half. Of course since i got mine over 6 years ago things may have changed.

denkigrve 07-06-2012 04:32 PM

Holy crap, my plates are here already. Took less than a month. I'm shocked.

Grimmspeed also makes one. I like theirs a bit better, it offers more room for adjustments.

I'll put mine on eventually.

Ha! Same here, bought the car May 31st and got the plates the June 30th, exactly a month. Also bought the Grimmspeed mount, but just ended up installing the rear plates. Couldn't bring myself to muddle up that front with a license plate! I guess I at least have a fix if/when I get my fix-it ticket :thumbup:

FRSGT86 07-07-2012 02:23 AM

Got mine on 6/1 and the regular plates came a few days ago, so about a month. Ordered vanity plates a couple of days after I got the car, and still waiting. The web site said 8 to 12 weeks for those plates to come, I hate waiting that long...

BlaineWasHere 07-07-2012 02:50 AM

I just got my car on 6/19 so no plates yet, BUT I was thinking about getting custom plates but every time I think of something good it's taken...

finch1750 07-07-2012 05:55 PM

So, my GF was looking at my registration and under make it is listed as Toyota??? Anyone else's reg say the same thing?

Indestruct 07-07-2012 11:14 PM

I got my plates, but I'm not putting em on for a while. Who here is not gonna put on their plates like me? :)

I had my plates for about 15 days. I think I am going to put on my back and order the grimmspeed and add it if/when I have to :)

86_ZN6 07-08-2012 02:13 AM

got my plates june 6. it's been a month and i have not installed them yet! lol

ashtray 07-09-2012 03:40 AM

Got my car 6/1. Plates arrived 3 weeks later. Just put the rear on today. No holes drilled in the front bumper, and I don't know where (I threw) the front bracket, so that plate is in the trunk for now. Will do one on the tow hook eventually.

My non custom plates end in "86", so I'll probably keep them. Plus with the way I drive, I don't need my car to be easier to identify/report!

Zardoman 07-11-2012 11:50 PM

Dunno why you all want the license plate so early so bad.. I got mine about a 3 weeks after i got my car, it is still sitting in my trunk, I intend to use the full 90 days before i HAVE to put it on, or I'm thinking since this car is really new and some are on waiting list til next year march, i plan to push my luck til a cop pulls me over, worst case a fix it ticket.
i like my clean ass.
;)

Trojan_SC 07-12-2012 02:05 AM

I got my car on June 21st and got the plates today. WTF! lol. Probably not getting vanity plates anytime soon, don't need my car to be identified/remembered that easily.

86design 07-12-2012 04:55 PM

bought the car may 31 got my plates 3 days ago lol there in the trunk just sitting..hoping my custom plates come in pretty soon lol

Bonburner 07-12-2012 09:40 PM

Plan on using Euro plate on the front and using the legal plate on the back :X

Calidrifter 07-12-2012 09:46 PM

No registration paperwork yet but I did get a nice reimbursement check for my last truck payment.

Thats what I said. Lol. I made another thread and scions are all listed as Toyota I guess. But it for sure gets rid of any rice factor whatsoever to rebadging. :D

HotLeopardMama 07-16-2012 06:57 PM

Bought mine on 06-02 and my plates came in almost exactly a month later. still haven't put them on, though. Gotta go to AAA and swap out my new plates for my old vanity ones. My FR-S will have H<3TLPRD status then. ;D

Don't plan on installing the front plate till I get issued a fix-it ticket, but I have my Grimmspeed mount for if/when the time comes. :thumbsup:

mseth 07-18-2012 12:26 AM

Got mine a week or so ago.. just waiting on the car to install them on now. :P

Love that it reads "FR-S to envy, yours to discover." LOL :w00t:
