There was some interest on this thread as to whether any of the CA owners had applied the CA legacy plates. I ordered my about eight weeks ago and finally got them yesterday. I think they look really good if if the car has the yellow PCCB’s ( and of course the yellow interior stitching). I tried the black s/s Porsche frame and it was too muck black (couldn’t distinguish between the plate and frame). Settled on the polished s/s.

they look good! i'd like to get the black plates for mine too, i told the dealer that i want those but they're out of state so not 100% sure they'll be able to get them for me [theyre helping with all the registration process from afar]. i guess i can just request them later if i get the normal ones to start? hopefully the process isn't much of a pain

I don’t even think CA dealerships can order them for you. I just got the standard plates, then ordered the “specialty plates” from the DMV website. 50 bucks and it took about 8 weeks.

I plan to order personalized plates for my car too. Hoping you can help answer some questions. When you receive your paper temporary "plates" from the dealer, is the number/letter sequence the actual numbers/letters on the physical metal white plate that you receive it in the mail from the DMV?
The reason I ask is because on the CA DMV website, they now make you enter your VIN and plate number. Therefore, if the paper "license plates" they put on your car are the actual number/letter sequence of the metal plates, then I can order my personalized plates once I complete the paperwork. If not, then I have to wait until the actual white metal plates arrive in the mail before I can order my personalized plates.

I’m pretty sure to have to wait until you get the actual plate number. If you get the title (pink slip as we used to call them) first, that will have the 7 digit plate number. I think, as I recall, the online order form will only accept a standard (not temporary) plate number.

Oh, the answer to the first question is no, the paper plate number is not the same as the metal plate.

Thanks. So it would seem that the temporary paper plates is truly a random temporarily assigned number. How long did it take you to receive the regular white metal plates? I'm just trying to get an idea of timeline so if it takes about 4-6 weeks for the regular white metal plates and then another 8 weeks for the Legacy plates, dang that's a long time.

It is a long time but hey, we’re talking about the California DMV! I think I got the white plates in 3-4 weeks. I actually ordered the legacy plates a few weeks after that. The confirmation said 4-6 weeks but was over 8.
As you may know I am working on getting the Track Precision app working in the Spyder, not a lot of success but I haven't given up yet, Porsche has not provided the best of documentation for this and of course not a lot of love for Android either...
Fortunately a friend and fellow Rennlister @rjag2034 was also there with his beautiful Gentian Blue GTS 4.0 and grabbed a video of us flying by the start/finish line!
