Idle thought

We only have a rear license plate in New Mexico and the new car has a front license plate holder than cannot be removed.

So I need a front plate.

How about NewMexiKen (like the script above) on a titanium silver metallic background (the car color)?

I’ve never even had a vanity plate. Is this too, too whatever?

  1. I say go for it! For the price, it’s a good way of customizing your ride in a way that’s not permanent (if you don’t like it). I also feel there’s no way to know until you slap it on.

  2. Re: photo license plate – Dang, now we’ll have to look at a photo of the car owner’s ugly mutt… or worse, their “honor roll” kids.

  3. I had a Cubs unofficial license plate in front until I got in a minor crash. The stupid body shop replaced the front bumper with one that doesn’t have a plate holder. grrrr…

  4. I have had everything from Jolly Rogers to vehicle names (SeaDragon).

    Indulge yourself.

  5. I like your idea, better than the cutesy vanity plates that spell out stuff. Saw one today NVR4GT. It was about September 11. I thought it was weird.

    Enjoy having a little creativity with the front plate. Where I live these days, they rely too heavily on cameras in intersections, so we’re required to have front plates. I miss having what I wanted there. Use to have an NMSU vanity plate on my car and liked it a lot.

  6. The car being a Z4 I think I would like best a plain silver plate with a black Zorro-style Z on it.

  7. If you get a cutesy plate for the front of your car I will have to question everything – everything – I thought I knew about you.

  8. I would have thought the car itself might have done that, daughter dearest.

    There is a black plastic license plate holder that, unfortunately cannot be removed. I need something more than black plastic at the front of my trophy car. (I mean, who else buys a sports car 6½ years AFTER retiring?)

  9. I shall vote against reiterating the make/model of your car on your license plate or license plate frame.

    That has always rubbed me the wrong way, for some reason. It’s as if the driver feels we are none too bright or something. It’s a Z! A Z! Are you with me? Seriously, a Z!

    Although a simple Zorro-style Z is quite inoffensive, granted.

    Personally, I think you should have the bumper replaced. 😉

    I saw a 350Z once with the vanity plate FANTA Z. It was everything I could do not to hum a grape soda through the windshield.

    PS: You’ve got me wondering how I’m going to put front plates (which is required in CA) on my two cars, neither of which have front license plate holders?

  10. The Zorro “Z” would be totally cool. Simple yet definitive.

    PS; My red 1970 Porsche 911S doesn’t have a front plate holder. If it did, a “S” would be appropriate.

  11. Put a picture of a snail on the front plate holder and then have a large S painted on each door.

    As you zoom by people will say,”Look at that little S car go!”
