Or contrary to @yurikaze's idea, go for one that gives contrast on your body-color:



Just a matter of taste, and if you want it to blend in or not with the car.

But since you have a WRB tS, I'd go for one of the mostly blue plates.
It generally looks pretty cool when your plate mostly matches your car.
That does look super slick!

You have to use direct links to the photos and make sure that they're public (or viewable with link).

So the links/URLs you need to use here end with .jpg or whichever file format your photos are.

Somehow I've managed to have never been pulled over due to no front plate. I'm sure it'll happen now that I've said something though.

Google photos wasn't allowing the photos to display even though I had them as public. Used imgur and they seem to be working now.

Y'all need to stop waisting your money on custom plates. The state government gets that money, yearly. What do they do with it ? It's just a plate, I don't see the draw , is it lighter … does it help you stop ?

Yeah, I'm a hater. I was thinking of getting one myself, I just don't see myself giving my state DMV $50-75 yearly, just for a custom plate.

Why do you bother getting a car that requires more expensive gas? You’re only increasing how much you spend on gas and likely how much more often you fill up for rich billionaire oil people to get richer.

One of the black plates. The blue plates are not close enough in color. I wish Texas had the all black with the yellow lettering. That would look good on my 17 yello! Right after I purchased my car I was drinking and interneting. More dangerous on your pocket book than drinking and driving. Was on the MYplates site trying combinations of plates and it took PHUQUEU. Luckily Texas caught it and rejected it.

I wouldn't give California any more money than I had too either. Texas is the greatest state in the solar system, though... And I'm not stressing over $90/year.

90? I remember paying $150 for mine, granted I only paid for 1 year.

Yeah, I know. I drive low mileage per year ( 1500- 4k) on the FRS, and as much of the maintenance is done by myself. I put more miles on my xA per year, that takes 87 octane. I also ride my bicycle as much as I can as well. I keep yearly mileage driven to 8-10K. In other words, in my lifetime I shouldn't need another vehicle (at my age) , so I'm pretty much done. Gas... insurance , Registration ( a custom plate would be part of this) on FRS is about $280, and what needed maintenance per year is what I pay.

You're correct, 1 year is $150. 5 years is $450.
