Hmmmm. My wife wants to get me personalized plates for my birthday. Can be up to 8 numbers/letters. I was leaning towards OSCORP86 but HULKSMSH may be fun as well. Will have to see if available.

Good luck trying to get any easy ones in Ontario. OSCORP86 You'd get, but who knows how many people would tie that to the GG. Imagine having to explain your 86 and then explain your license plate...


Maybe VERTGBLN..

They would either get it or not. I would not be explaining. Anybody that doesn't get OCORP isn't going to get VERTGBLN any better.
Ya a quick check shows they would probably not approve "Hulk" as a copywrite infringement and possibly not "SMSH" as violence. My wife has to go to the License Office almost every day for work (can you imagine that hell?) so she can ask.

Not approve HULK? That would be absurd. It's not like the actual word is trademarked, I think the combination though may be the issue if anything, mostly in regards to availability at that.


License plates are hard. I've been thinking for a while now what I want too.

The actual word is indeed trademarked. When they check (IF they check) they just look to see if there is a trademark against the word. They don't care what the scope of the trademark is they will not generaly approve anything with a registered mar. Now I could go with HLK SMSH which may slip through the system and still not be horribly confusing to people.

Got lucky just once.

Got to see one driving around in the real world this past weekend. It was a clear and sunny day around noon, so the lighting wasn't favorable. But, you can still see that it has a nice emerald sparkle and a lot of depth in shadow.

I had seen one on the local dealer lot, but it was cloudy and didn't stand out at all. That made me think it was closer to GM's green, but I can now see that it is much deeper and less chintzy looking than this:

Mostly I like the brown interior. But I think for the Harkone, as others point out, you really have to do an aftermarket rim. Something BBS, maybe.

Ya like the Lava it can be totally different colours all at once depending on the light and angle.
I really like the wheels. They are different but not overblown like some aftermarket ones but I like a more subdued wheel anyway.

Big nope on aftermarket BBS. Just paint stock caliper black imo if you can't get the stock brembo.


For the wheel, the gold-ish is alright, but I'd like to see something maybe more graphite. I think this would complement it so well.

Trying to sell those 17 wheels eh.


The pictures do a very poor job of showing how nicely those bronze wheels compliment the green.


The aluminum calipers are fine with me. Brake components do not need to be a focal point.

Exactly why a black caliper would be nice I think. Hides it into the wheel well a bit more.

Nah then it just looks like you are missing a chunk of rotor.
