Custom plates

I've never seen a post about custom plates which seem like a good way to further customize your car. So I'd like to see some custom plates to see how creative it can get.

My plates say WUP THIS they are in response to my buddy's plates that say WOOP U 2.

My other friend has X FIRD 82 for his cross fired 82 Z28.

Depending on what you're going for, a regular non-personalized plate may be what you want. In my case, it is. I'm making my car into as much of a sleeper as I can (retaining stock TPI, etc). A normal license plate adds the last bit of "stockness" that I need to make it look like any other Thirdgen. Performance is the separator.

It's a little hard to see from this angle but my dad's '00 T/A plates say RED RKT



I'm not sure if I'll get a vanity plate on my T/A...I might just stick with a normal one to attract less attention (esp. from cops )

Ya I was going to get a 4th gen Z28 last summer. They gave me a great price of $700 every 6 months. So when it came time for me to start looking I called them back to double check, and the $700 price was basically for no coverage, It was just to say I "had" insurance. I have full everthing coverage on my 91 RS and it is $600 every 6 months, If i got my 4th gen Z28 with full coverage it would be more like $1500 every 6 months. Once i turn 25 thought the price goes way down.

when i bought the car it already had borla exhaust and K&N fipk on it, had a very fun ride from texas back to va It now has PPC coated long tube headers with y pipe and random tech high flow cats, 160 degree thermostat, hypertech power programmer, granatelli mass air flow sensor, and fiberglass ss hood. I havent taken it to the track yet, but i assume somewhere around mid 12's. Oh i forgot i put powerslot slotted rotors and green stuff pads on her too, stops on a dime! The more the money the more the mods, lol, or should it be the other way around

uhhh, how do you assume that when the majority of stock ls1's are almost breaking into the 12's stock with the accasional 12.9 stock? you dont think those mods will get me into the 12's? Have you ever ridden in an ls1, the headers are good for 4 tenths easily just by themselves.

I like lambos to but I'll take my little camaro in the quarter mile any day. Besides, I couldn't use the lambo to attract the ladies anyway---I'm married-----but we can all dream. I beat a mustang in a race one time and his plates read URA JOKE. When he made it to the next light I told him that-----Yes.....HE was!

I thought about getting one like the other, bashing on the imports. But, the guys in town would probably see it and key it or something. I was thinking GTA SJC= GTA Smokin Jap Crap. Anyone have any problems with R!cers getting mad?

25THRSS, The LS1 is a 2001 SS with exhaust and lid but it has the factory LS6 intake and stuff, one of the LT1s is a 95Z with a bunch of bolts ons, the other is a 97 30th Anniversary SS 355 fully forged motor, supercharged with twin intercoolers, 12 bolt and some misc. bolt ons, and the 86 is a built 350 with misc. bolt ons but I am about to take the motor out and change the cam again and a few other parts. you can see them at my website www.geocities.com/sportscars32 it doesnt have the info on the 97 and the pictures and info on the 86 are all outdated but I should be putting all the new stuff on there soon.

PS sorry for taking up so much space on this thread
