I wonder why they don't offer a 7 digit custom plate? All of the regular TX plates have gone to 7 digits.

Re: Whats your custom license plate say?
I know this is an old post but had to add mine to it.
I got ARACNID state plates this week (only 7 letters in Idaho) & since I am running bumperless I ordered a custom Italian plate to match to put on the front spoiler.
The front plate is "Italian" style w/ "Torino" county code & I put "78" in the registration spot (year of my car)
Idaho wants a front plate so I hope that will do it (says exactly the same), although I've ran without the front plate for 2 years now & they've never pulled me over.
I still havn't fastened the front one yet, it is just a little taller than my spoiler so may have to figure something more custom out.

Re: Whats your custom license plate say?
Mine is simple, its the original plate when it came off the lot in 1980
Re: Whats your custom license plate say?
When I got my new plates the girl at DMV came out from the stock room and said " I don't know if you are going to want this"
The project will end up with an antique plate on the back but I did get this fit to the front.

I'm amazed how many people can't read Roman Numerals. I bet you get lots of questions regarding what it means.

For the 1969 Spider:
These are reproduction plates, allowable under Illinois 'Year of Manufature' laws
My '74:
Gotta love the 'Hubris' plate, when people 'get it', they really laugh!

Re: Whats your custom license plate say?
Csaba-
With a valid Illinois antique license plate, you can display a "Year of Manufacture" (YOM) license plate on your car. The Antique plate doesn't have to be displayed, it just has to be in the car. Many Midwestern States have these sorts of rules for antique cars, but most specify that the YOM plate must be from the currently registered State. Illinois does not specify that, so people run YOM plates from a LOT of states, California being very poular. A few brave souls have even put on vintage European plates.
I figured someone would comment on the California plate, but I thought they'd comment on the "WOT 124"
