Default Help me pick my plate..

I'm having the 454 installed in my C6, so I thought I would finally do a plate.

Here is my short List:

9 SEC
SAWHEN
RUN YOU
9S VET
GOT SPD
TRY THS
454 LS3
454 C6

What do you think?

I went with "1 Bad C6" and totaly regret it. If I did it all over again I would not get a personalized plate.

I had a personalized plate once way back when I was 18/19 but I prefer the standard plates now.

If you want the sleeper, keep the standard generic plate.

A mild announcement: LVN454, LSXWOW. or DUZ 9S

In your face: FSTRNU, UCNTWN, or UD LUZ

Why would anyone want a personalized, easy to remember plate? Just think of who's going to be reading it...

You need the slip before choosing the plate.

454 C6 if you do a custom plate.

If I don't hit it a 9, I should be darn close ...

That said, I'm leaning 454 LS3 or 454 C6

I had "U Sure" on my heavily nitrous'd 3v mustang. Put it on my corvette and hated it. And a friend of mine has "UWILLUZ" on his 1100rwhp twin turbo z06. So this one is simply your choice.
