Black License Plate?
Today I was walking up to my 8, looking at the temp tags and thinking to myself ' A black license plate would look sexy against my silver 8'.
So I asked my friends how much a black license plate costs. Turns out, you have to buy someone's plate (cant just order one). Someone told me a small number can run 500-600$.
I'm not dumb enough to spend that much on a license plate, but I heard that you can get a black license plate with Gold numbers for about 100$ [I'm not sure if this is a Delaware only thing or not].
I figure black/gold is a lot nicer looking than a blue plate/yellow numbers (Delaware) plate.
Does anyone have any experience with buying a black license plate? Can I get one for 100-200$? Should I go for the black/gold or is it not worth it?

that sounds cool. but if someone has it to buy, where did they get it? someone had to order it, right?
are you allowed to custom make license plates so long as the number is registered? I don't think so.
one thing you can do is buy one of those plate covers that is tinted.

June 19th. I want to take a look at all the 8s at the sushi meet and get some more ideas for my first mods. I really like the clear corners.
Sway bars is a good idea. I'm assuming you have them, so which ones do you suggest + how much are they?

I zoom therefore I am.
sounded like you'll be seeing other 8's soon. Look around at them and when you see a darkness you like find out what that person used. Some tint shops will even put "temporary" tint on a window so you can get an idea of how dark it will be. Basically they just quickly put on a piece so you get an idea of how it would look.
