License Plate confusion O_o

Bslaw83 · 02-02-2011, 08:43 AM

I live down by Houston, and last night i was going to grab a bite to eat and saw this plate on a 3 series. Can anyone tell me if this is a US plate?? Is it a Texas plate maybe? I love the way it looks and really wanna find some info on it..any ideas?

It looks a plate from one of these websites:

http://www.europeanplates.com/europe...se-plates.html

I saw a Lexus in Houston with something similar as well. Pretty sure its not legal though. I got a speeding ticket once and saw that the fine for improper plates is like $300. I don't think it's worth the risk.

Not a US plate. This might be a plate from some military member that returned from being stationed overseas, but it isn't from a European country or the UK.

Looks very similar to the SLO (slovenia?) plate listed on this page : http://www.euro-sign.com/european.shtml

Yeah, that is interesting. Likely a US Foreign Service Plate from overseas. As has been noted, it's not a Military Member plate from an EU country or the UK.

Displaying this plate in the back is just begging to get pulled over. That is not legal.

edit> it does look hella clean though

Wish we can use these plates. New York State plates are freaking ugly.

And the website photo is displayed on the front of the car, quite illegal being the only plate on the rear if it is on a public street.
