When my registration comes around in April I'm gonna go ahead and get some new "vanity" plates. There's a new DMV website with some cool backgrounds then the option to make the plate read what you want

www.myplates.com

As a Longhorn myself, I'm considering this one which is available in some other colors too:

I think this one's a bit tacky:

But I do kind of like this old-school style:

Anyone good with photoshop wanna do a quick chop on any of those to show me what they'd look like on the car?



this is a response to a recent post on the 07+ sedan section

 

imo i dont thing a plate with a design on it would look right on the back of a g35

 

yea that's why I'd like to see a chop on the car to see if it looks really tacky or not. I think the bold colored plates are gonna be a bit much - the historic plate with the border looks kind of cool though

I'm gonna go with this one if I don't like those on the car

 

odd i thought all tx plates were 6 digits not five =o??

 

yeah I like all the options - I am thinking about getting some - right now my top 3 are:

GDRTY5
OMG35
BRACKG - Neil's Idea today

-- Favorites from IFO were:

SUPGRL
HERROW
NOM NOM
JDM JEW

 

Nah, they're not really new. I've had mine for almost 2 years now. MyPlates (corp) went bankrupt for a short while and is now back under government control. My plate was only one of about 1200 released that year --- the design is available in this round, but they don't seem to offer the same amount of characters on it.

AJ, what i did back then was just print a sample and actually placed it on the car. Worth a shot.

 

Really? I've never seen any of them before. What plate do you have?? Pics?

The character options are either AAA### AA### ##AAA ###AAA for $33/year or you have any choice of letters and numbers for $60/year (IIRC)


Good plan, i'll try that.

 

Yep, i've only seen 3 or so here in Houston to date. It was rather short-lived. They launched and IIRC it shut down within a month or two.

Hey, meant to do this over the weekend but got sidetracked.

 

i was gonna get the luxury plates but there $195 a year?????

 

Depending on your preferred character combo, you may be able to get away with the Custom series.

Btw, for those not in the know, as with any custom plates, these prices are on top of your regular yearly registration fees and you can get them at any time. It's not tied to when your existing registration expires.

 

oh wow thanks for that chop, i still kind of like the orange star plate

And just as I posted this thread never having seen them in real life I did yesterday back up here around UT. There's a new white Tahoe parked at one of the apartment buildings with a pink Chevy bowtie, pink longhorn emblem, and the pink star license plate haha - i'll try and snap a picture

 

woah - I guess online advertising works (i.e. they track where you've been and deliver you ads based on that). The ad at the bottom of my page right now is for myplates.com haha

 

yea, the ones with 6 letters or numbers...no pattern..i was gonna pay for them then it said $195..thats quite amount of money for plates....but they said they might come out with the 7 letters..itd probably be more expensive idk

 

$195 **** lol

 

took about a week get mine in. i was going to get the 3rd one but 195 is insane...plus its probably going to cost you 120 bucks a yr to renew
