Steve 96C4S

I've had this idea for a long time of colored license plates to match our cars. What would it take to vote this idea in with our Dept of Motor Vehicles in each state? Who wouldn't want a beautiful matching black license plate with white lettering on a black 911 (me.. me!). Or if you had Guards Red car you could order a red plate with black lettering to match your black interior. Maybe they could limit it to 12 different color combos, or what about 20! My blue/blue 911 would look great with a Light blue plate with dark blue lettering. Oooh la la.

You know how some people try to buy a car that works well with the license plate for that particular state [yes, there really are these types]? Now you could order a plate that would really complement your car. Some states just have ugly looking options... Arizona in particular. With the colored plates, you could design a nicer all around look for your car. I'd pay $50 for the vanity plate with color options. What do you think of this idea?

Steve - Silver Spring, Md - yeah, it's a slow news day.
95 740i Aspen Silver/Grey (a silver with black lettered plate would look great on this car)
99 XK8 (her's) Sapphire Blue/Creme (I would pay $50-75 extra to the MVA for the opportunity to have a dark blue plate with creme colored lettering - too cool!)

And please don't give them the idea that they should be charging extra for paint on the plate. That would make perfect sense to them!
