Think in terms of 8-9 months. That’s exactly how long it took to get mine. Ordered in January and never heard a word or found anyone that could give me an update or even an acknowledgment of my application until, as if by magic, they showed up one day in September. The only confirmation I could find was that my choice was no longer available on the DMV Website a few weeks after I submitted my application.

Wrong. No one is going to memorize random license plates since there is no logical reason to do it.
I know you like to smile a lot, but think about it. An ordinary license plate among lots of people such as during a commute, there is no REASON for anyone to pinpoint your particular car.
Since it is assumed there maybe other similar cars like yours, leaves you an out if someone asks was it you.
Within the first week you will run into lots of: "Wow it's Dr. Muhney showing off his brand new Porsche again, driving around town with that loud muffler." and "Oh Bill Muhney's Porsche was parked overnight in that hairdresser's driveway, I hope his wife doesn't find out, he's having an affair." 24/7.
With a personalized license plated Porsche, you basically doom yourself to being a human GPS.
It's almost as bad as tattooing your social security number on your *** and walking around naked.

Have never really seen the point of having a custom plate that essentially mirrors, or is a variation of, the OEM badging that is just above it. The car already says “Porsche” and some iteration of “911/Carrera/S/GTS/etc”. I wouldn’t want my plate to say the same thing?
if I ever get a custom plate, it would be “F8BTHR” for my primary hobby.
