MyPlates.com back online and cheaper! (TX)

For those of you who saw the post a while back about MyPlates.com going offline, well, they are back with discounted prices. I have never seen these plates in person, but they look like a nice, clean alternative to the new design from TxDot (which I hate). These plates are licensed by TxDot so you shouldn't have any problems with the law.

Some of you guys know already, but yeah I have them. Got them about a year and half ago. Like 8thWonder said, they are no different than regular plates, actually I think they are slightly better quality.
You guys are lucky (if you get them now)..I just checked the site and they dropped the ten year price by "$100" from what I paid... Cool. I really liked the full color ones with the stars in the corner but the expression i wanted was taken so I had to get the Red T (texas flag style) ones.

Just ordered one. Got the lone star black background with random generated plate # (not a big fan of a message) for $55. This is basically the cheapest to get the most solid black plate and no message. Will look much better than the bright blue and red new plate I have.

I'll call my plates, matte black, to match the rest of my car mods.

Ordered Red Background

I ordered 12/29. It's supposed to take 3 to 4 weeks. Should get them about the end of January. I recall reading in the FAQ that the plates are made by prison labor (just like the regular plates).

Are these official plates that can be used on your car according to TXDOT standards?

Yes, official plates. Go through site, and select design and random letter/numbers not personalized and it is 55 a year.

I ordered the T plate series last week and they should be available in 3 to 4 weeks for pickup from the DMV office in downtown.

Anyone know who has the "V8 M3" plate? My plate is actually "TV8M3"

I’m glad I came across this thread as all the best custom M3 plates have been taken in TX. As an added bonus, I was also able to choose a plate color to match my car

I recall that Blake has "V8 M3". He had posted links to pics of his car on the region chat thread, but the link seemed to be broken just now.

Not Exactly as Expected

Got my plates They have the white border like like the others that have been posted but the red field isn't centered (likely a prison labor quality feature). I used some red plastic tape to cover the white border. Pictures follow. I had a hard time getting a good picture of the plate on the car. The point and shoot digital Canon camera we have seems to have trouble with multiple shades and gloss levels of red. The "three letter, space, 2 number" format was a small up charge from random numbers and letters vs. the much more expensive the free form option.
