Anyone getting custom plates for your FR-S?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey anyone here been thinking about getting a custom license plate for their FR-S? I've been tossing around the idea of having something like "TOBARU", "AS1 86", or maybe just "86". All of these are currently available in Texas.

What about you guys? Any cool plate ideas?

you could technically get TOYOBARU cus its 8 letters. but im gona stick with randomized plates. that way if i do something stupid, it wont be easy to remember me.

Thought about it but then I figured it would be easier to recognize and remember which might be a bad thing in certain situations. :P

Looks like Florida's selection of plates suck...so sadly no. I went through each of the plates and only just a couple seem like they MIGHT work...*drawn out sigh*

I wanted to somehow get a random plate starting with 'FRS' but my mom got new plates for her Subaru, and hers start with FRX so looks like I'm SOL

Looked into this a few years ago. Depending on the Jurisdiction though, a lot of places have a rule on vanity plates that I is effectively the same as 1 (Also O=0 and some other ones....)

The point was that if someone got the plate 'FIRST', then you couldn't get 'F1RST', because that's basically the same thing. So you could get I1I11I1I, but that's the same as IIII1111, or 11111111 or any other combination. (which also means it doesn't matter what people see, it's all the same to the computer).

Basically, it's a good idea but "They thought of that."

I want to get FT86 or GT86 or just plain 86 for mine.

But im pretty damn sure they will be unavailable by the time i get this car.....

custom plates = attention

easier to find your ass, both for the cops and the bad guys

you never know what kind of soccer mom decides to call in a "reckless maniac driver" after she tries to change lanes and notices last second that there is someone (you) in it, and all she has to do is call the cops and tell them that someone with the plate BLSDEEP is endangering her life

or something.




true story, my father once got a knock on the door after some woman filed a road rage complaint against him. She tried to pass on the pocket/shoulder after crossing the intersection from a "turn right only" lane, except her little 2.0 jetta (the old non turbo ones) was no match for his v6 accord.

she told the cop that she was "afraid for her life due to my fathers reckless and endangering behavior"

:/

cop took down my fathers side of the story and said not to worry, nothing ever happened of it. But just think how fucked up some people are.

Haha, people passing on the shoulder always cracks me up. I remember in high school some kid had just got a car, was passing a heavy duty truck and he decided to go onto a gravel shoulder to make the pass since traffic was coming the other way. Diddddddn't quite make it back onto the road in time for the bridge. He was okay but his car was not.

I will probably go with the ol Miami Heat plate
