removed the original paint, painted it black, then had reflective silver vinyl lettering cut for it, then clear coated it. it looks perfect, like it came that way from the dmv. haha
the law says that you cannot modify a plate if it "...interferes with the legibility, angular visibility, or detectability of any feature or detail on the license plate or interferes with the ability to record any feature or detail on the license plate."
the plate is even easier to read than before, so technically this isn't illegal (in my state). i have my car out of state most of the time anyway, so i highly doubt anyone is ever going to question it. yeah, a FL cop might question it, but i don't think i'm going to have any trouble.
even if a FL cop wanted to give me **** for it, it's a non-criminal violation, and no points can be assigned. at most, they can slap me with a $25 fee, which can be reduced to $10 when i walk in and show them my unmodified FL tag. according to 2010 florida state laws.

Thanks for the clarification. Seems to me like you just want to be like Dan and have a black license plate too,....just move to Delaware

i was going to do white with black lettering, but i was convinced to do black w silver lettering when i was looking up fl plate designs and saw the 1968 coloring (google for pic)
You can't get in trouble or pulled over for doing something like that on your license plate. There's all sorts of custom plates that you can get made with all kinds of crazy things as the background. As long as the #'s are clear it's fine

2003 A few local car shows
2005 First Deal's Gap Event
2006 Rebuild began
