What's the usual charge for vanities?

I think it was only $30 or so on top of what we had to pay to register here...

I can't believe NV takes the CA way and charges based on MSRP. =/

Yeah, it's about $30 extra.

And suddenly I understand the NIN song title. I always thought the song was an obscure reference to gears.

Now that's a good first post! Referencing NIN while being helpful!

Welcome to the board!

Clearly Scott doesn't read all the BDSM SPAM he gets...

My RS's plate starts with 5BRU, which almost looks like SBRU from a distance

Welcome to the board!

I almost went with "Pinion" as my name here. But figured many members of the Subaru community know me as NYR and would shower me with gold bullion and/or praise upon my arrival to the SECCS.

And thanks for the welcome.

So you're saying I should get "BUG STI"?

DZ · 2006-01-23, 11:48 AM

STi - XSIVPSI
Mustang - GR40 GT

The plate on the STi was a transfer from my old 02WRX and it false advertising at this point. though it does shock many of my Mustang friends when I tell them I am running 17.5 PSI when 8 is fairly standard on the kits for the Mustangs.

The Mustang plate is a reference to the Griggs Racing suspension on the car...

Don't let AtomicLabMonkey see that Griggs crap!

I would imagine that even he would admit that Griggs is quality stuff.

When it came down to making the decision on which to buy I went with the Griggs because they were an hour from where I used to live and that was enough to push me over the edge. And for what it is worth, I have the Maximum Motorsports front swaybar relocation kit on the car as well, just don't tell Bruce...

Considering all the back-and-forth between the Griggs and Maximum AI cars on track, I'm sure he respects the Griggs lineup.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2006-01-23, 12:21 PM

Conceptually most Griggs pieces I've seen are fine. I have a problem with the designed (lack of) fatigue strength of some of their parts & manufacturing quality, based on some of the broken parts I've seen come off track cars.

Or FAKESTI, maybe DEBTWRX, or CCRACER.

Scott, I like the idea of the BUGSTI plate, cool. You should swap it out,

I was thinking about BGSTEYE, but it doesn't look right... I need 8 letters: BUGSTEYE

Oh, and BUGISTI looks like an Italian last name.

Do you guys get 7 plus a half space like CA? BUGI STI looks less Italian. What about BUGY STI?

I don't think so... it's 7 total, and that's it. Worse yet, I want the '82 replica blue and white plates, and they have a max of 6 characters.
