Default License plate idea

I cant remember which thread but I saw interest in people getting custom license plates on neloc member cars to spot them out easier. I just posted a thread with a led license plate I finally got installed and I think is pretty cool. It costs around 40$ but is worth it.

I had something similar to that plate a few years ago on my Camry. Sad thing was I got harassed mercilessly for it by the cops. Said it was a distraction to other drivers on the road, and I got tired of being fined for it. If you like it,,kudos'. I have the plate that Batmobile referenced above,, infact that is my car.

Yours come with a remote? I have mine setup so its only on when my headlights are on and if I can turn it off when I want / need too. You guys get that plate off of a website? Might get one for my front plate.

I had mine awhile ago, think I ordered it from JC Whitney. It did not have a remote to it, but then again I had my Camry back in 94. It was LED display, but I had to switch a button when I mounted the control to change the message. Only came with presets,,, no custom tailored. The plate I have now, I had made at Carlisle last year. Hell, any autoshow that does vanity plate frames can do them.

They are all illegal here in the city. The one that Bat has will cover up "New York" and get you pulled over so be careful. The LED one is hot but probably not worth the headache that will come along with it.

As Cliff stated, the plate I have may be illegal in your state. Maryland doesnt bother me about it, however I know the cops in your area are in a whole nother world.

I should have pointed it out in my earlier post, the LED plate frame is COMPLETY ILLEGAL. They will let you slide alot of times on the vanity covers like Bat's above depending on it's size. But those don't usually have the double blocks on them (where his says 'Club Lexus') that's blocking the words and they'll get you on that.

The LED's are illegal in every way and they will get you.
