I just licensed my camaro here in WA.

Prior to that it was licensed in TX.

When I went to put the rear plate on, the holes didn't line up. The plates are intended to sit in the little grove/lip on the bottom of the license plate holder aren't they?

The TX plates are about 1/4 of an inch taller.
The top holes on the TX plates are about 1/8 of an inch lower than the WA plates. Before the TX plates I had MO plates and those fit fine too.

I used a file to elongate the holes in my new WA plates so I could attach the plates to the car.

This is seems strange to me that I needed to slightly modify the plates so I could put them on the car.

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

my oregon plate fits just fine, but i only use the upper mounting holes.

btw, we barely ever use this forum.

we have our own...

Around here we just use the top bolts.

 

I only used the top bolts too after I used a file to elongate them.

This just seemed strange to me. I figured license plate size and hold loacation would be standard.

 

Yea those Washington people are odd *****. I am an Transplant via the military.
