    Yeah thought about removing the early and making it all one sticker.

    I checked the CGS (connecticut general statues) today, I didn't see anything about modifying marker plates. Only thing was illegally removing the registration sticker (which we no longer do on our plates). However, I'll run it past the local trooper when I go into work on Tuesday. Worst comes to worst, I leave the back normal and run the front like so.

    if you covered early and then did Early German as one phrase it would look cohesive.

    and im 100% sure this is illegal.

    but good job, it looks great.

    I wish they had this YOM program you speak of Semaj, being able to have your cars era plates is a nice idea.

    Wisconsin Hobbyist plates FTW. Only drawback to the plate is the color.
    \/ has hobbyist plates, and is perfectly street legal only because of them \/

    Too bad they dont do a nice program like the YOM program like they have here in california, given it only works if your car is like 40+ years old, but my 62 stude has the original plate from 62 with the 62 tags...so awesome

    Connecticut state law requires you to surrender any plates that are not currently in rotation. Trust me, if I could run the 1980's issue blue plates, I would in a heart beat..

    (That plate is from 1987)

    I've seen numerous vintage car owners cover up the 'car' part with their makers logos without issue. However I don't recall anything going to the lengths I have.

    I'm not to sure to be honest, If there is an issue I'll handle it when the time comes.

    Great work so far!
    Anyone in my state who looks at this plate will immediately know it's a modded plate. The fonts are exactly the same however the letters in 'German' are a tad thicker. Since I've already committed to that size on the front I didn't want to readjust the lettering for the rear. Maybe down the road I'll take it off and redo it. Also, my car isn't much of a head turner anyways :giggle:
