Lots of old threads on this topic you can leverage for ideas . Not all of these threads / plates are specific to a GS, though. I found these by searching for 'license plate' and 'vanity plate' in the Clubhouse forum for a prior thread asking about it.

Price should be around $40 for a vanity plate, plus whatever they charge for 1 year 2 year or 4 year plates.

here in CA, if you get the personalize plate with the Environmental Plate design (original without any background) it will cost you $41 the first time and 25 renewal

I got this one for my wife: *LY GRL (* is the heart symbol)

I got one coming for our van: "VIP xxxx" heehee stay tune

in NY, my NT2SHBBY plates cost me a mint, but worth it IMO


I paid a one time fee of $50 or $75 and then I pay $50 a year to renew them, as opposed to the $25 or $30 they normally charge

Alexus, the CT-DMV fee for a vanity plate with the standard background is $90. If you want one with a special plate background (e.g. Long Island Sound, Keep Kids Safe, Caring For Pets, Greenways, United We Stand), the fee is $135.

DMV here in Cali has a website where you can try out your personalized plate to find out if its already taken or not. Though it doesn't have a great deal of flair I decided on:

GS 4HNRD
(GS 4 hundred)

Had lots of fun playing with 7 letter/number combinations
RNN ON MT (Runnin' On Empty) URNDWAY (You Are In The Way) CR8YRF8 (Create Your Fate)

Alexus, before you go down to your local DMV for a vanity plate change, take a moment to read up the following link for all the rules to follow in selecting a CT vanity plate:

http://www.ct.gov/dmv/cwp/view.asp?a...=|28988|#30252

You can also test out your plate choices online to see if any of them available:
