The proverbial “cherry on top.”

@dlearl476 How about that >> a vanity YOM plate!  Oh, now that's taking it up several notches! 

It’s actually fake. I got a normal vintage vanity plate and had a place in Florida that makes plates for sho biz do me a ‘55 plate with that reg number. As my Spyder is titled as a 55 and it’s legal to have a YOM plate here, it’s “kind of” legal. I’m counting on a LEO not being discerning enough to know (or care.)

I need to get a new safety inspection sticker for my lexan windscreen.

Last summer I attended the monthly Palm Beach Cars and Coffee event, which has hundreds and hundreds of cars.  As I was wanting a vanity plate for my Porsche 997 at the time, I paid attention plates there to gain ideas.  Gosh, was I blown away by the number of owners who had changed the colors, the logos, etc., of their state-issued plates.  It was made clear to me then that the authorities pay no attention to this sort of thing.  And to your credit, your faux plate is the same as your legit.  Very cool!  

I’ve seen a few specialty plates that replaced the horseless carriage with vehicle logos. All of our specialty plates use that format, with different stickers. Every thing from college logos to trout, elk, birds, Special Olympics, etc.

Whats weird is that several years ago, our legislature OK’d vintage Black/white* plates, but they never issued them because, according to the DMV lady I spoke with, they couldn’t find a manufacturer with reflective black paint. You see Black plates all they time, but they are illegal.

* I have black/white plates because that’s what 55 format was. Back then, plates changed colors every year. Late 70’s, they started issuing new colored stickers instead, and offered two plates, Ski Utah and Centennial (Zion NP) plates. There are about 20 you can choose from now.

Years ago I had a white epoxy ink stamp " DOT AS-1"    ( the kind that are used on PC boards) that worked great for Lexan. Loaned it out and never got it back ....

Looks great @Wulfrik (John) truly the icing on the cake.  I have a set of 55 plates i need to register.  Just hate going to the dmv.

@ford356outlaw Raffi, in Florida the process doesn't involve going to the DMV.  It's a mail-in procedure, and the instructions are on line.  You mail the plate, a letter with all of the details of the car, along with a check for around $60, to the motor vehicle department in Tallahassee for authentication.  I got it back in about two weeks.  No fuss/no muss.  :-)

HA, FL "DMV" is actually the tax collector's office! 

I have 2 different '71 FL plates that I plan to use for my Speedster and dune buggy (or take them to my grave!).  Both are on a '71 VW chassis.

I've been collecting FL plates to hang in my rural FL barn - found some cool ones from 90's!

@WOLFGANG Ain't that the truth! 

Having owned several "antique" vehicles over the course of several states, I've got a collection, too.  I can't imagine every throwing them away, right?

@dlearl476, I too have a replica plate from the place in Florida.  I keep the real plate under the floor mat.

@Michael McKelvey -- Cool plate! 

I guess matching your car that is the paint of your car is pretty cool.

Google it. I found mine on a site that did all sorts of stuff. License plates as well. They had stickers from all 50 states and just about any year, along with a bunch of generic stuff like the oil change stickers, etc.

eta: found it. https://inspectionsticker.net/...e=index&cPath=44

(And now I remember why I didn’t order 2 the first time)
