My plates came in friday, took them almost 3months yea Cali, dmv slow or lack of prisoners LoL, anyways i opened up the envelope took a glance at the plates and said HELL NO im not putting these on! So now i'm trying to come up with a catchy name for personal plates, i wonder how long i can go without plates on and how long it takes for vanity plates to be made and sent? I still have my dealer sticker in the window and the rear plate aswell.
I know i didn't have a choice in what was sent but damn....

4-6 weeks or so.

You have up to 6 months to put on your license plates. No rush.

Just make sure you have the paper taped to the window. That's your"teporary" identification until your plates "arrive".

I ordered my custom plates 6 weeks ago and still no word on if they arrived at the DMV or not... sigh... way to go california!

It appears every state is different. Colorado gives you a temp tag for 60 days, then you go to the DMV and get your plates. There's no "waiting game" per se, it's just a standard 60 days. I don't know how much you guys pay for plates, but mine for my 2011 SS just cost me $756. Ouch. Just for regular ol' plates.

When my Camaro gets delivered to me, and I have to put a license plate on it, I did a little research, and decided to go with one of these plates, since my Camaro will be orange and I live in AZ

Tag, title, registration, and ownership tax (not sales tax). All collected by the DMV when you get your plates. Vanity plates cost $60, and an additional $25 every year.

At least tell us why they sucked...?

Spencer@EH · 08-08-2011, 06:56 AM

I odered a plate for my fathers G8 for Christmas and the lady told me 'It would be roughly 90 days...but definetly not less.'

MMC · 08-08-2011, 07:11 AM

3 months to get plates? In NY you have your plates when you leave the dealership. Vanity plates take 6-8 weeks to be made.
