California Residents can go to this web site to see if the personalized plate they want is available and they can be ordered on line.

Incidently I was going to go through and put in a request for mine tom, I came up with few..but didnt like them all..there another website with quite a few to take some inspiration from..

Plates

some of these are really nice and some are "NAW T"

anyhow..

There is a BLUE 666 on this website why not you try for RED 666...that would be cool i think..

may be if you are trying to be a little childish..then

When I SEENRED I know the GF aint lettin me get any

I have been turned down for plates almost 10 times. Most common letter I get in the mail? "A peace officer may have a difficult time reading this plate in the event that they need to do so"

How is LS2 Z51 harder than a standard plate? Beats me!

Go for it. It's in the past tense indicating you're ahead of them!

For me, only two words as I "politely" pass everyone and say..."BYE NOW"

Default pick one you like

I got my plate. In WA state it's easy. Website checks for you and then you send in to find out. Took about 5 or 6 weeks to get it back. Can you guess what I do? My plate:

NOVCAIN

Default Plate

CHANGE THE SPELLING,UNLESS your saying seen red(as oposed to "seein" red??).I saw a plate at carlisle a couple of years ago that wanted to say "you lose",but said "you loose"!It would be ok if it's directed at hookers or something!!spelling is everything!

When I had my 2009 coupe, I was turned down in NJ for "2K9 C6". In NJ, you have to have at least 3 letters. "2K3 SS" on my Silverado SS was OK.

There are lots of sources you can look to for ideas. Whatever you decide on, my only suggestion would be to make it readily understandable. I lose interest in the overly clever 'puzzle' plates quickly. Good luck!

Have had a vanity plate on my Vettes since day one. I saw a Prowler the other day with a "regular" plate, asked him why not a vanity plate. "It costs extra"!! If you're going to drive an extraordinary car, it demands an extraordinary license plate.

I like SEENRED. You can understand that it relates to the red car.

I also was very tempted to get a vanity plate but decided against because of potential vandalism from some Jamoke while the car is sitting in a parking lot. My daughter's 328 was keyed for no reason and my black Z06 gets more attention that her car did. Sad to have to write this but that is how I feel.
