heres the deal with that. i was going to do it. probably still will, only thing is that even when this gets passed, it wont start production for like 6 months AND THEN it will take them like another 3 months to make the plates. SO.... you wont see the personalized plates any time soon.

So i jsut got an environmental plate. Maybe i can switch it over to a legacy one...

also you dont have to have an old car to put the plates on it.

Also sorry, one last thing to add is that the minimum requirement to even get this program rolling is like... 5000 people. and i think theres a 1year maximum to hit this number. im thinking they already hit it. but who is to say right. Send it in and hope for the best!
