Yes, I chose the $55/year option. I selected design series/background only. I then chose random letters.
Side note: You can actually order and go back (adding random plate numbers to your cart). This can help you select the last two letters if you went through the alphabet. Depends on how patient and anal you are and what letter they are at.
Again, it's not worth wasting 10 minutes with, but you can play with the last two letters by adding multiples into the "shopping" cart...then removing all but the one plate you choose. Yes it is silly, but then again if your name was Bob Smith and they were at Plate ****BQ, BR, BS, etc....you could select your last two initials.
55 a year for the solid black with star, random letters, is not a bad choice.
Spending $195 per year for a custom phrase is not my idea. I'd rather spend that on tangible mods.
Finally, my idea was to get the solid black background...can't wait to replace the horrid new designed plates with this black plate.
