Chris, I'm sure you've noticed that regular plates have now gone to 7 digits.
I called and they said that we're going to be going to 7 digits for vanity plates before the end of the year. They're still lining up a vendor that can produce them for us.

I'm counting on 7 digits to get plates for the S351 that say KATS351 (dedication to my wife Kathy for investing in 94-94).

We just need 8 digits and you could have LIME AWAY

hmmmm - I called and they said they are still 6, and they have no clue if they are going to 7. Also will the New Vanity plates if going to 7 digits will they be the "UGLY" new Blue Plates or stay w/ the standard white plates?

I talked to several people that weren't really in the know, but got to someone higher up that did.
Can't really answer on the style.

I think I've tried every variation of "Gone in 60 seconds". I hate only having "6" letters/numbers to work with!

How about "TOPLES" or "SPEDSTR" or "2SEATR" or "NOKIDS". Something to show off the uniqueness of the speedster/2 seater option. I chose "SEE THRU" for my vista roof optioned 06SC.

I've had several thought about what I could put on my Saleen. In Louisiana we can have 7 digits. On my Lexus IS300 I have "NOT2BAD" and on my 02 Lariat I have "2B4GIVN". May I suggest "200 MPH"," COOLCAR", "KEWLKAR", "2 QUIK" . Good luck with your pick.

I've been considering "MYTHRPY". Years ago while I was in the Navy I had a GT that I had "ADRNALN" on. I got lots of comments about that one.

yeah, just saw a few new plates with seven digits. They changed the vendor for personalized plates and the price went up from $40 to $185. Hopefully they're is another vendor that can do 7-letters.

Thumbs down

Yep just checked and what a HUGE RIP OFF !!!! I was waiting till the 1st of the year - hoping they would open up the 7 digit option on the vanity plates over the previous 6. Now it goes from $40 to close to $200 a year for modified plates ?! WTF ?! Guess I will wait again till Texas changes it up again. Since I am sure they won't gett much orders in with those Inflated prices !!!

Which is why they call them "vanity" plates

My first was SUPRCHD but too many women were asking why "superchild" so I changed it to 540RWHP the people that need to know have that one figured out...the others think it is just a standard plate..(ok I lied it is actually 539 at the tire!) No big penalty for the vanity plates in Michigan...sorry pics of plates not available on the computer I am acessing from...

I was just looking.....OMG... $195 a year and that doesnt include the registration fees!
Looks like my next Mustang will not have personalized plates.

Its a shame....Ive bought personalized plates for all my cars in the past but going from $40 to $195 a year is toooo big a jump for me to be on board.

Default My Plate

I never posted but this is what I ended up getting the day the special edition plate came out :) . I don't think it's $195 though but I could be wrong. Worth every penny, that's for sure!
