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

          can you imagine the moment the prisoner who is stamping these pulled this one out of the machine?

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

                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.
