    Think this will fly? It's restored to it's original colors just a bit.....shinier.

    Hope I don't get hassled. I'd hate to have to ruin it by re-painting it again.

    theyll probably like it since its more reflective now, until someone deems it a distraction

    you won't have to worry about repainting it if the cop confiscates it.

    Jen came home and promptly hung it on the living room wall to hinder any damage before we can put it on the car. I think she digs it.

    thata a great idea! chrome it first, then paint it the right color, then wipe the numbers off with solvent! i don't think i've seen that done before. probably a fat ticket though.
     
  13. Alot depends on what its bolted to?

    Does MI allow YOM plates to be restored before registering them? FL does not.

    Yes. They have to be the original colors for background and letters/numbers.

    For years I've been running a YOM plate on Big Olds thats painted purple to match the car. Have never been hassled or questioned.

    Neither does Mass.
    You restore it AFTER getting it approved.

    She is 'Thee Rep'. Good to know, Denise. I think if ya drive like a sane person, authorities treat you as such. Drive like an idiot, get treated like one.
     
  22. I don't really know what the original colors are so I can't say if there will be any objection from those with "in charge" stamped on their heads. I like the colors that you have on it now, and it seems that its quite reflective too.

    I don't know how michigan is but here in Indiana I run a "home made" plate that my son made on my T-Bucket for the last 4 or 5 years and never had a problem, I have run it in Oh, KY, ILL, FLA, and never a problem, but I have the right plate behind it.

    When I first registered my '28, I sent in photos of my plate, which I painted the same color as the car, and they rejected it, stating that the colors were wrong.

    Fortunately I had a pair, so I painted the other one the correct colors, and resent my registration. I run the color matched one on my car, and keep the correct color one in the trunk, just in case I get hassled. ( I never have been)

    Be respectful if you get stopped and I would bet a paycheck that they never ask about the painted tag....I'll be painting mine to match my paint.....yes I know....:rolleyes:
     
  26. Just got the OK from the SCDMV to run my YOM plate and they say no alterations in pant color,,they have a list of plate colors and number colors. HRP

  28. Oh Lordy, Lordy!!! This is a class A felony. Your plates will be impounded, your car crushed and you will be sent to Pelican Bay for 20 to life. You will be raped by your cellie, Bubba, repeatedly. You will begin to like it after a year or so. Upon release you will be an AIDS ravaged shell of your former self and will die in a flea bag hotel on Skid Row. Your bloated body will not be discovered for three weeks when the tweekers next door break in to steal your stuff. You will be buried in Potters Field and no one will mourn. Stray dogs will urinate on your grave.

    Paint your plate at your own risk. I'd sooner sell nuclear secrets to the Taliban;):D
