You buy it from their website.
It takes about 2-4 weeks to ship.
They ship it to the downtown Houston, County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office.
They email you when it arrives.
You can either pick it up from the downtown office or have them ship it up to a closer office to where you live, which takes a couple days.
They take your old plates and register the new custom plates right there on the spot.
You may have to spend a few dollars extra for middle of the year license plate renewal. So bring extra cash. I think they might take checks.
Go put them bad boys on your car.


This is the office they send it to initially for Houston:
Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office
1001 PRESTON
HOUSTON, TX 77210
(713) 368-2000

I just had my tint done at EVS this past weekend. Brent is extremely professional and I'd recommend them any day.

FYI - I got the Solar Adaptive Transition Tint and its sick!

I drove 2000 miles from New Hampshire back to Katy.
I am at 2400+ miles right now. No rough idles. I also didn't baby it until 1000 miles. After 200 miles I drove it normally up to redline and had fun while doing the Tail of the Dragon in the dark of night.

Well unless it's like $200+
They are $395.

Though $795 for 10 years, which really isn't a bad deal (~80% off). Basically just pay for 2 full years upfront and get 8 years free.

I've noticed that mine will drop to ~400rpm very briefly when I depress the clutch during deceleration. It bounces right back up though so I haven't really given it a second thought. When the car sits still at idle, its smooth.
