Which design should I go with? Very important life decision here

1)


2)


3)


Kind of leaning towards #1 the Virginia Tech one, I think the maroon would blend in nice with the red mist since red mist is a lot darker in person than the chevy renderer, but I also like the blue/yellow contrast of #2

#1 is compatible with red Mist. 2 clashes and 3 doesn't add anything.
I would go with 1.

I’m just happy to see another Z in Virginia! Never seen one in person beyond my own.

Honestly, none of them. Hopefully you have more choices that work better with Red Mist. Here is what I am doing. (ordered the plate but hasn't come in yet. Black plate with silver letters (white popped too much). SCREAMZ with carbon fiber holder and red Z06 lettering. (might have to darken the z06 lettering if too bright)

sadly black is not an option in VA unless I can somehow convince the DMV it’s an antique car and get those plates
