Hay guys,

I thought it's about time that I get some custom plates for the evo x.
I have been presented with an idea of putting the leopard print number plate on a black X. I've never seen the plate in the flesh, but I thought it might actually look good, the missus did like this idea as well.

I'm just having second thought, as the car is primary driven by myself and having a leopard print plate might be rather odd for a guy. Alternative is, id stick to the more common, coloured plates instead.

So I'm just seeking your thoughts, is it yay or nay?
Link per below to how it looks:

Thanks for your input, much appreciated!

Might be alright if you had a Honda or MX5

Not on an Evo

That's just wrong.

Personally I'd choose a black back with your fav color for the letters.

I say KIS (keep it simple) use colors that match the car and be done with it.

Agreed with Craig there!

hahah cheers guys for the input.
Will stick to coloured ones instead!

It just sucks how you have to pay annually to run custom plates in Sydney, as opposed to a one-time fee in Melbourne and some other states.

Go with what you want! !
There is a new range coming soon...coloured background with black writing too.
I just bought the black with blue writing plates...no slimline versions though

Yep, here in QLD you can get custom plates from less than $500 and that's all you pay for life! If that's too much then $165 gets you your existing number in B&W 'classic slim' style which looks much better than the stock green or maroon ones.

I was looking at custom plates for mine. $495 or $550 depending on what size I wanted, and some colour schemes cost more than others.

Custom plates are great and I certainly don't regret my investment I only wish I'd gone the premium flexi plate as its a cleaner and more classy look rather than the premium framed. I can change them but from memory it was $500 to re order.

I'm a nay on the leopard print.

Wouldn't get the leopard print. I'm planning on getting custom plates soon $185 here one time payment so they're really cheap.

Here in QLD for $195 you can get what they call 'monochrome' plates. Basically the same as classic as in B&W with your choice of the letters being black or white plus you can get them in a slim 100mm high version and without the divider in the middle. The difference over the $165 classic plates is for the $30 you get a new number starting with ZZB if you want something a little different. Again they are yours for life with no more to pay.

Of course for $465 you step up to color plates where you have more choice in the colors and the number can be customized somewhat.

Top plates here cost about $5000, you have to think long and hard before paying out just for a new plate number.

Mine being 7 characters cost $3,300 (if I remember correctly). They were a present to myself when I took a voluntary redundancy package and like the car I love them more every day!

As you step up to the premium range the colour choices become limited.

MIVEC is not being used here in QLD, can be yours for $2395!

I just think if you have the money then go for a custom plate even if it's into the 1000s. But for some of us we have to do with the cheap end of the scale below $200.

I still think the B&W slim plates look loads better than the standard state plates no mater where you live and for most of us $165 is not a huge ask. Put $10 aside each week and before you know it you'll have new plates.

$1000+ for custom plates I hope they're plated with gold. Come to the NT every second vehicle has custom plates and colours for $185.
