Default Personal Plates

I just received my new plates today! I love the black & white over the new "colorful" Texas plates that I think are tacky.

What is the character limit for that plate? Looks like you can go six... Just curious if they stamp characters into the white star area on the left...

Dude, you got all kinds of options. Indiana has TONS of group plates and stuff. Best one to go with your car is this though. All others have at least a little blue in them.

GREAT looking car!! That's a cool plate-didn't think black & white would be special, but that big white star commands attention! Altogether, a Badazz looking ride!

Trust me dude, when people look at your car, they aren't noticing that the plate clashes. They're just seeing DRM that looks like you can DIVE into, head first!

And by the way, I'm pretty happy with my Indiana plate, and the car it's attached to. Waited half my life to have it.

At Least Cali is White w/ Dk Blue letters, so doesn't clash with too much.

OP- nice plate

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.

Hey screamin_conure,

Please forgive my ignorance, but I am having trouble interpreting your plate. I get the "Wrath" portion, but I am having trouble figuring out the last three characters.
