vs. Platemeister the font of the 4 and the 9 are a little different and the holes are correct. I was going to buy some from platemeister, but I waited too long....

It should also be noted that the cheapie plate is missing the "Month" and "Year" scripts at the top and the "CALIFORNIA" script isn't anywhere close to being correct. Hopefully proper restoration quality replica plates for California will again become available in the future.

Has anyone here heard of why Elmer quit offering them????

What happened did the Governator when he was in office send a cease and desist letter to The Plaetmeister to stop producing those CA replica plates?

Word from an inquiry on the copcar.com board is that all of the various replica plate vendors were ordered by the State of California to cease and desist production and/or sales at the beginning of 2012 and that unless in the unlikely event a new law permitting them is passed, reproduction CA license plates will no longer be available from any source obeying the order.

I fear decals will be next. What cruds we have running this Republik....

Platemeister is in FL, so I can't see how anything that CA says has anything to do with them.

It's kinda like the gun laws there; they don't apply to the other 49 states.
