CA registration questions
I received my CA registration card today, but not the plates. Are they sending them separately now? Also, the year model shows 2003. Anyone else have that problem?

I got my plates last wednesday with the registration. Only took 5 weeks. Not too bad for California. My bike took 8 weeks. Hope it works out for you. My year shows as 04.

anyone get their personalized plates yet? how long does it take? i got my standard plates and registration (together) very quickly, but my personized ones have not come yet. i'm returning the car anyways, but i'm in the process of buying a new one.

Look at the plates and the indentations where the month and registration stickers go. 5 out of 10 times they put the stickers on the FRONT plate. I don't know if it's a DMV or convict practical joke on us.

Of course I could be just falling for a troll in which case - duh.

for reference, i got my 1st 8 on 7/25 and got my plates a month later. i ordered personalized plates in the beginning of august and i just got the postcard that they're ready yesterday.
now here's the problem: i returned my 1st and got my 2nd RX8 two days ago. how do i get the personalized plates from dmv without the registration from the new car? i'm trying to avoid paying any kind of plate transfer fee.
