Hoping to be a future (next month or two) owner of an RX-8 I am wondering if you all have done any personalized licenses plates...

Currently on my 2001 Celica GT-S, I've got the following... any one else got some suggestions on a nice vanity plate?

Definately not that one. Asking for trouble are you?

Search for a couple other threads with numerous ideas.

:eek: :eek: :eek: You've got balls.

:D Actually I get more comments than anything. And most of the times I've gotten pulled over the cops have been half decent, and ask what the plates are supposed to mean and I give them the story that my aunt is a cop and I used to see her all the time while driving and I would say I See You To Cop, and that is how the plate came to be, and they would be like oh, cool, well slow down or whatever and usually I wouldn't get a ticket. But then again, I have gotten some assholes at the same time... eh, oh well. But thanks, I'll do a search.

I will be transfering my old plate from my 2k Celica GT-S AT (RIP) to my 8.

It reads: OMEGA B

I wanted to put "omegabob" on it, but figured I didn't want other people to know my name. (also, didn't want to make it easier for psycho stalker ex-gf to find my car).

I am considering changing it to
OMEGA RX8
But I'm not sure it'd fit or even sound good.

i was hoping to just get "wankel" on mine, i want to put something like "dabeav" since it's my old nickname from high school, but most people would think of the other use of the world beav (as in part of a woman)

One reason I wouldn't want a vanity plate is it makes a car more reconizable. Say you blow by a cop and you have a custom plate than he or she is more likely to remember what you plate is, but if it is a bunch of letter or numbers than it is harder to remember.

Yeah, thats my thought... I figure if I were to ever get vanity plates, I would want something like "OQQOOQQO" - figure that way, no one would know which was an O and which was a Q...

I'll probably transfer my current one.. QIKSILVR :)

Or say some jerk thinks you cut them off or something, or thinks you're driving too fast on the highway so they call the cops on you. Or causes an accident, and then blames it on you.

P.S. I dont' see "ICU2COP" causing problems with any police officers. Something like "FU-COP" would, but not "ICU2COP".

Not bad...

I've held off until now without getting a personalised plate. We couldn't resist ordering two when we registered the RX-8, though - the opportunity won't present itself again like this!

I have to give all the credit to a RX-8forum member, Zoom44. Thanks for the idea! (I hope you're not in Alberta, Canada, or I stole your plate - sorry! ;) )

96 Miata - plate "ZOOM 42"
04 RX-8 - plate "ZOOM 44"

They should arrive in about 6 weeks!

Gordon

That is a great plate!

A cool plate that a guy I knew had... he had an RX-7 and was going to school in Wyoming. Wyoming plates all start with the county code followed by the cowboy, then the rest of the numbers. He lived in county "1", and then followed it with "HOT 7"... Gee, someone can now do the same with the RX-8. Anyone from Wyoming out there? Now that's a great state for a RX-8. A lot of open mountain roads... That was a great place for a weekend drive with my 1st Gen RX-7.

Here are my suggestions......Im in Detroit by the way


I8U UP

I8M ALL

4 NIK 8

URNZ WAY

8 MILE

3MTA3 ( read this in a mirror ) ( good for a front plate )

RX-GR8

or

RX-GRR8

Chat room lingo provides many ideas. :)

Of course, this works best on a black 8 with irregular vertical orange stripes.

Helps if you like corn flakes, too...

I8AV8

4 NIK 8



THATS AWESOME!

We have already ordered our tag and are patiently waiting:

RX8 U UP

We thought about:

RXLR8
8IZENUF
8BLUBYU

On my '88 RX-7 Turbo 10th Anniversary, the license plate is RX-7GURU. I gotta hurry up and get an '8 so I can register RX-8GURU :).

BTW, it takes a LONG time to get to guru status :).

Ordered mine recently.

RX ADDCT

Get the double meaning?

My Plate has about 4 different ways of interpertation.

MARX8

(MAR)k's 8

(MAR)k's (RX8)

(MA)zda (RX8)

(MA) (RX8) <- My RX8

Mine read

Texas: ROTA8

I like it.

got the plate, just need the car now (had to borrow a press car for this shot)

How about AREXATE? :D

Like boowana's plate in Texas, I was lucky enough to snag the RX-8 plate in Missouri before somebody else got it.

I'll admit it is not a very clever plate......quite boring actually, but I think it will be neat to have after the car is gone.

As Boowana had RX-8 in Texas I initially thought about getting RED RX-8. But that's way too obvious....

However on several occasions people driving next to me have signalled to me to wind down the window so they could say things like 'nice car, is it a V8?'. No, it's a 2ROTOR. Sadly ROTARY was already taken.

Ordered and waiting for:

MORX8NG

Yeah, it's a stretch, but all the good ones were taken!

I RO T8

:)

"WAS HIS" That pic rocks!:p

GOTPINK and if u woundering what it means...pull up next to me and see? hehe

How about 14U2NV.

It's already taken in FL.

My plate is pretty boring in comparison to all these. But, I ordered it from the DMV here in CA over the internet about 2 months before I bought the car (foregone conclusion considering I already put in a deposit and had a VIN). It was available, so I figured wtf:

2004 RX8

Now I just need the registration form so I can pick it up. Picture to follow...

My vanity tag on my 322hp 1990 Taurus SHO was: MR XLR8R. (mister accelerator), my neighbor asked me what it stood for. I told here and all her friends just bust out laughing. I figured they thought it was slow. My neighbor thought it stood for "Mr. Xtra Large Playa Hater" I rolled my eyes and pranced away.

This one is now official (after a two month wait!)

It's not here yet, and I'm on my second set of 30 day tags, but the plate I reserved is ELARAS8. So it won't be too hard to pick me out of a crowd.

After two months and three temporary plates, my tags have arrived. Think I may have to paint the TREKN8 black to match the rest of the tag and the car.;) In case you are wondering, that is an SR-71, aka 'Blackbird', on the tag. The SR-71 holds the air speed record from New York to London, under 2 hours.

Sharp. Really Sharp.

In D.C., where the car is registered, you have to explain why you want a particular vanity plate. I said that I'm 71; as far as cars go, this is my last fling. (I usually keep cars about ten years. At 81, I may want something a bit less sporty.)

My two personalised plates arrived 2 weeks ago - today was the first chance I had to get them both washed and photo'd together since then...
Now you can see where the '96BRG' in my forum name is from!

Gordon

my 8's plate says RENESIS

I wanted ZOOM 2X (ZOOM ZOOM) but it was taken, as was ZOOM X2, ended up with ZOOM RX8

My plates have finally come in!
