CA black license plate

[irvineboy]

i read that it costs $50 to order the black plates and $40 renewal each year. Does that mean $40 on top of the normal renewal fee? Do they mail the plates to you or do you have to pick it up? Is a new number assigned?

I just got new 1960’s CA plates for my Model S. You can order a boring random ‘sequential’ plate number or choose your own cool custom ‘personalized’ plate number online at Special Interest and Personalized Plates

Takes about 4-6 weeks, Then you pick them up at your nearest DMV and turn in your old plates.

I’m pretty sure it’s $40 on top of your annual registration fee.

That thumbnail image didn’t look so good. This should be better...

If sequential and customized is the same price, might as well get the customized. How do you know if it’s taken already? Does the system inform you before you pay?

Check out the link in my previous post. There is a system for entering your personalized plate number to check if it’s available.

Ok, so how did you do that? I cannot figure out how to change my profile image.

Personally, if it is another $40 ONTOP of normal license registration fee every year, I am not sure I’d go for it. But they do seem popular.
