What do you think about custom plates?

Hey what do you guys think about getting custom license plates? I have done it a couple times before, but am finding it harder to get cool ones! What do you think?

Cheers

Just Say No to Custom Plates

I ask, why pay extra to make your plate easy for other people to remember? I like to be able to remember my own plate in case the car is ever stolen but if I cut somebody off on the freeway or need to quickly leave the scene of a crime, I want to remain as anonymous as possible.

I fully agree S810

This topic is on another thread and although it seems very silly, Im with you. Too much s*** happening and I really dont want anyone to recognize anything more about me than they do. I have seen too many things where individuals were involved with incidents that they were never really involved with because someone remembered seeing their plate someplace at some time. FagetaboutIt.... I want them as scrambled as possible.

I think it is a bad idea, it may look cool at times, but is dangerous
