New Texas Plates!

jcosta79 · 09-27-2012, 04:40 PM

I got my new plates in the mail the other day and I was shocked to see this format:

MUCH better looking than the old colorful one!

I'd much prefer the black plate with white lettering as being the standard.

Nice plates. What's the process of getting new plates?

Buy a new car, or wait seven years. Assuming you still have the same car/plates that long, after 7 years they give you new plates when you do your next registration renewal.

Or you can go get some custom plates, they always take money for those

Yea I'm kinda pissed I bought mine a month ago or so and got stuck with those crappy rainbow ones. Must had got one of the few remaining left. Fml.

or they could get bent up in the car wash or backed into at the store.

Since my car is white it blends in really well. If I had a black car I would definitely want the reverse (like you mentioned).

$7, go to your local office and get new plates.

This is incorrect information. You can get specialty plates at anytime. You just pay the pro-rated difference in new registration.

I accidentally backed up into a parking pole a couple of times. I got a new one for a fee of 4 dollars at the DMV. Lol jk

I got a black one with a star and since I didn't get anything custom on it I only pay something like $40 a year for it.

$40 sounds way better to me. My registration is due next month and I hate paying the $200

Funny how in the ad on the link, they put a Z at the end of everything lol. Found it to be ironic.

Perfect, got the new one on my white Z, fits great :-)
