    I could be wrong, but I don't think you can mix # & letters in Wisky

          I was thrown the idea of getting a collectors plate. What's cooler, custom plate or a blue plate?

            What's cooler: custom balls or blue balls?

              You forgot about the green balls.

                    Read the terms of the plates they are helpful.

                            Hobbyist plates basically give you a free pass on modifications to your car.

                              hobbyist and collectors plates are basically the same with one major difference.

                              collectors (blue plate) = the car is mostly unmodified, aesthetically looking like a factory car. lowering, wheels, debadging, etc are allowed, but no body modification beyond factory options.

                              hobbyist (green plate) = the sky is the limit for modification, including full custom cars and kit cars.

                              both must be 20 years old, both you must have another registered car, both you cannot drive in January, both I believe its a one time registration fee (no annual renewal fees)

                                Yup $200 one time registration fee. This won't be a winter car anyways. Custom plate would be cool but #savebigmoney. Could always slap a euro plate on at shows too.

                                  I'm not that kind of guy to run a euro plate lol. Just not my cup of tea 

                                  I don't plan on any major body modifications. All bumpers I run are slightly modified OEM and I'm never doing huge flares or anything of the like. That's why I would opt for Collectors plates. Plus I really hate the look of Hobbyist plates lol

                                        Hobbyist is the way to go. That's what I'll be doing for the e21 one of these years.

                                          You've modified the suspension way beyond oem spec, your tire and wheel combination is outside of oem spec, have you deleted the cat?  Any exhaust mods that increase the volume output from the tailpipe?  Any emissions equipment removed from the engine for the sake of cleanliness?  With hobbyist plates you are exempt from penalty for those modifications.  

                                          My moms boyfriend has hobbyist on his euro spec 928 with a full 3" straight pipe exhaust and he told me he has been pulled over once.  He pointed out the hobbyist plate and the officer bickered with him but he was on his way.
