I had a personalized plate the last couple of years which I've changed a few times. I was a few months expired on registration so when I went to pay I was told I lost my personlized plate, and it would have to be renewed. Since last year they switched any new plate ordering thru a 3rd party. So instead of $45 a year thru the city, I would have to pay $200 for the same plate! I wasn't going to pay that much a year just for a plate, so I ended up getting a regular plate, except in a different color scheme. They have a large selection, but I thought this fit my cars color theme well. What do you guys think? Do any of the other states you live in have plates with the same color scheme?

Whoa, we don't have plate selection like that in California, but that is a very sleek looking plate.
Also, you intended to get the Euro trunk finisher? It doesn't look bad, but just odd to me since I am used to seeing the gap closed, lol.

It is a euro finisher. The LCI cars have more of a gap, I actually like how it looks,

Looks good.
Wish NY had black plates instead of the mustard yellow plates. :thumbsdown: My registration is up soon too. If I had to pay $200 a year to keep it, I'll pay it. Anything to keep the blue and white.

Ya, the plate looks awesome!! Don't you have a Euro plate to go behind the real one? I've seen a few others do this and I sorta like the look.
