| Mate don't get something that'll make you cringe later. I have always thought "...2NV" was the gayest thing you could put on a car since that pink shoe in Priscilla. I'm sure all the boost8 etc are gone. Maybe try something with your name. SCV8 10PSI8 9PSIV8 V8PSI FORCED8 What is the letter/number limitations in your state? |

| Limitations are 9 letters/numbers. I came up with a good idea with some mates today actually, IUZ GZE (UZ for the engine, GZE is apparently how Toyota label 'Supercharged') But I like some of the ones u guys have 2, FORCED8, CHARGED8. I don't want something that will attract all that much attention from the policia, but I guess with custom plates that is automatically gonna happen hahaha. Good ideas so far though guys, me like! |

| BLOWER hahaha That could possibly be taken the wrong way though :-P Might avoid that I reckon! Man Eastern Staters get a raw deal on custom plates! |

| I'm not a fan of custom plates, but if I had them I'd make it something to confuse other people. How about "STOCKSTD". Or however else you can abbreviate "stock standard". |

| Hahaha. Yeah that's not a bad idea at all Tom I quite like that one actually. The main reason for me wanting to get the custom plates is getting rid of the ugly WA state plates. I want some nice slimline black plates with white writing. I think they look a lot better than the normal ones |

| Doesn't having your plates read SLEEPER kinda defeat the purpose of your car actually being a sleeper? Best plates I have ever seen were on a fully riced up Mazda RX-7, giant spoiler, giant wheels, custom kit/paint. His plates read "SPDKLS". Nice bloke too had a chat with him at the servo, I asked him all about his car then when he pulled away I saw his plates and couldn't stop laughing. |

| Hahahahahahaha. That is pretty funny! RX-7's are totally awesome. Plates I guess are another one of those things (such as bodykits etc.) that some people love and some people hate, but that's why I started this thread Good to see everyone's opinions on the subject! |

Saw a commodore the other day with "CAKES" on it. Gave me a slight chuckle on just how random it was. |

Ha ha!Nice one. The funniest plate I've seen was PIGB8.ie pig bait. The bloke who owned the car dove like a nut as well. I assume he had a few run ins with our friends in blue |
