Vanity Plate Alternative
It just came in. I of course wanted "CORVETTE or CORVET". I am happy with the way this looks "CQR VET". From a bit of a distance, it will look like "CORVET". Now I need to find a black license plate frame that won't cover the word "Florida". A State Trooper friend told me if the frame covers any of the words or letters, you can get pulled over for that.

No, I ordered it. I sat at the DMV and went through a list of possibilities with an employee before finding that this was available.

I like it! I bet you can get out of tickets too... a cop will probably write CORVET and not see the Q himself.. this is slick!!

Seriously though it probably will hardly ever be noticed.

I would like to find a license plate frame where the plate fits into the frame like a picture.
The GM frame doesn't cover the lettering.
