Hey j-vette,
Texas only allows 6 Characters on personal plates and our plates are not stamped anymore. Seems like a laminate over the plate, but you can't put a number in the star. Since we only get 6 characters, I wanted a space between 92 and Vet. I could have gotten 92VETT, but you always second guess your decision after it's paid for. I'm happy with what I chose though.
Thanks to everyone for all the compliments.

Just logged on and this thread was on top. New York DMV has a on line site where you can see if the vanity plate you want is available. If its available, the site generates a picture of the plate. Well.........I hit it lucky, the one I wanted is available. Not doing this transaction by mail, I will drive 100 mile round trip to DMV first thing in the morning to lock it up. If I really get it, I will post the picture tomorrow. Wish me luck LOL

If the plate you want is available in Texas, it also generates a picture of it, and you can lock it up online with a credit card right there on the spot.

We have the same thing in Texas, but it's an independent company that has a contract with the State. The site is www.myplates.com

I got it easy....don't know why people had trouble. 
I think I'm gonna steal it..haha. I feel the same way. Half my life...finally got it. I took it out on the track (road course...of course!) and thought to myself, man this car was worth the wait. Such a capable car for its age.

California used to be blue and gold, and before that black and gold and
gold and black. Both of my vehicles have blue and gold. BTW, I recently
found out that there are specialists who restore old plates.

Back from DMV and I got it. The picture is a photoshop of the plate from the DMV web site moved to my Vette. The YV = Yellow Vette. The real plate should be here in about 2 weeks. The new paint has been wet sanded, now to start the polish. Then the new carpet and seat covers and I am back on the road

Mine say "NEVR L8" Sorry no picture. And yes that was shamelessly stole from a Vette forum list of plate names (possilby someplace here). I dont want my name (seems kinda wierd to have my name on a plate, nickname , etc, thats just me though, i guess they are called VANITY plates). Suprised you got a year and vette, pretty much every year in my state is gone.
One thing i did want to comment on (OP black car) WoW, love the black rims on black.. I been wrestling with that idea for awhile, you may have just pushed me to the dark side
