FYI - Those "internet special" replica black plates are no longer available. However, AB1658 was approved by the California State Assembly and is currently in front of the Senate Appropriations committee for approval in it's amended form. If approved, the State will offer California Legacy License Plates in either yellow/black, black/yellow, or blue/yellow configurations. They'll need 7500 paid requests of any one style before they'll start making them - and they'll add $50 for the initial issuing of the new plate and $40 additional on top of your annual registration.
