I have a few good ones in mind but don’t want to share them. I’ve come close to pulling the trigger but ultimately I don’t want the attention. This car speaks for itself.

I used to get personalized plates on all my cars for years until I realized that rarely did anybody notice and I had spent about an extra $4,000. for nothing. Don't do that any more.![No No No](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/nono.gif)

^^ 4000$ for the plate purchase or including the overall ownership costs (like 10 years to pay more to register it etc.)? Where I live, I payed 120$ to purchase the plate and then I pay about 30$ more annually when its time to register it. I think it all depends on where you live and what you have on your plate that will either draw or not draw attention to it. I have seen some plates where I am like "what the heck does this mean" and only the owner would have a clue, then that is useless in my opinion. But make it clever, make it funny, make it catchy and they will notice it, I know I get a lot of attention with mine, in fact I often see people at intersection grabbing their phones and taking pics of it (lol)

At $50/year it’ll take 80 years to spend $4000 on a license plate. Thanks for the warning. 😂😂

I can't bring myself to get personalized plates. I already give CA tens of thousands of dollars in taxes, I don't want to give them another cent.

In fact I had personalized plates on a motorcycle, pick up, car, motor home, company vehicles, Jeep, and Jeep trailer. (The Jeep was the "chilppr" due to the color) and the old military jeep trailer that was painted green said "bellppr". But that was 30 years ago, or so, in my younger, halcyon days when I didn't know any better.
Here's a photo of the Jeep:
