Hey guys,

Wanted to gauge how members felt about custom license plates, whether you're a fan of them or think they're tacky...

and as a follow-up, if you had any suggestions for a custom plate for a C55 in DC/MD. I came up with one "C55 U L8R" as a play off of "c u later" but i wanted feedback on whether it was too corny and if members had some good suggestions...

thanks in advance!

 

i've thought about getting one, but haven't followed through with it yet. i guess as far as tackiness, it depends on what exactly you have the plate say.

 

I have mixed feelings about them. Sometimes it makes your car more of a target for vadelisim or police....

 

hey hey !

I just ran by this thread but i loveee my custom plate that i just got a few weeks ago


My license plate says

MAK

thats my last name and i LOVEEE IT

 

Custom plate for the win. I'm still thinking about it.

 

I like them but I wouldn't get one. I like my car to be a sleeper. No badges it doesn't shout "AMG race me".

 

i suppose i feel the same way, hence my nickname on here...

but i do appreciate whenever i see a clever plate, as opposed to one aimed at inciting races...

 

what about Zzz Zzz

 

I like that one

 

what about SL55PER ? that may be too confusing?

 

lol....it might be...it also looks like SL55

 

I have C-JA L8R on my car. It looks kewl. No cops stoped me yet. Had it for a few months.


Yeauhhh!

 

C55AMG, is what I would do.....
IF you use any of the CUL8R stuff, and when not if, but when you get beat, You will be rethinking your custom plate.

Dont do this either EZ2CYI1

 

I love it. It's my name (Adam) in Polish.

Personally I prefer to have something about you to be on your car cause you might end up selling the c55 and getting sl55 so a c related plate on an sl55 would be pretty lame. I plan on using this plate on whatever car I buy next. Also having your name on your car is pretty cool I think. and also names to be on plates is a popular thing so if you can score a plate with your name I think thats pretty cool. Good luck to you on your decision.

 

I got beat with it on, didn't even bother me.

Oh and girls smile when they notice it.

 

My license plates says: EURO KNG

 

AMG BBQ

 

URSLOW, I8U2, IMSLOW, and my fav.. DOSHBAG,

 

I like that one also. However, I like my car to be a sleeper as well. No point in having a sleeper if your going to advertise on your license plate that it is one.

 

I generally find them tacky, and I think Virginia probably has more per capita than anyone. However, I did see one on a Corvette C5 Z06 that said "GLUMAKER" in reference to killing Mustangs that I thought was hilarious. Of course at the time I was also driving a C5 Corvette

 

"NOT SCED" "FST KRAUT" "NO MODS" "WTF BBQ" "OMG BBQ" "54 M113"

personally not much of a fan of personalize plates unless they read something really funny such as "4 PMS" alone with plate frame "1 wife, 3 daughters" on an S55.

 

I've also been debating if I want to go the custom plate route. I much prefer the clever ones vs the generic crap everyone uses. Hummers are so easy to work with, I really liked this one - "YES PLZ" directly above a large HUMMER with a ? painted on the end of the bumper.
It's hard to be clever on our cars w/o coming across as a *****. Douchebaggery seems to have run rampant on BMW/Benz/Lexus custom plates....
I kind of like "4CD FED" or "GOT AMG", but I dunno.

 

WOT FTW

 

I joked with a friend the other day that I would get "OMG AMG" as my plate if I got a custom one

 

Ha I like that one.

I have AMG at all the right places and people here in Miami still don't try anything unless its an M3 or another AMG who obviously knows where to look for badging to confirm its an AMG.
