@LordShadowfire Too many characters for California plates. Seven characters max.
I've had a personalized California plate. And the front must match the back.
They are getting stricter on the matching because of street light cameras. They have got you coming and going with opposing cameras.

@DeWayfarer I didn't know that California changed the law. Last I heard, you didn't have to have a front plate.

@LordShadowfire Front and back for decades. My Toyota echo I bought almost new in 2000 came with personalized plates even. Still under warranty.
Not even my choice of plates, since the plate was a Spanish word. Yet it sort of came with a perk because of that word.

I had to pull tooth and nail to get this out of the AI. It wanted to say 1945. Which I knew better. My mother's Volvo didn't have a front plate. The bumper wasn't designed to even allow for a front plate.
While I grew up in California. After 1978 I was all around the country.

A good general figure for when it became actively enforced on ordinary personal passenger cars in California is the early-to-mid 1970s—by 1989 it was common enough that the CHP was issuing a large number of “front plate” fix-it citations. Los Angeles Times

I don't, but funny story, well I found it amused at the time.
My brother bought a car and the licence plate was similar to our surname, so he changed how he spelled his surname on Facebook. I called him out on it and he said it was what they called him when he was in the army. So they spelled out his surname when talking to him?! 🤣🤣🤣

I don't, although I know two people with personal registration plates on their cars. One uses the shape of the characters to "spell" the name of a club to which he belongs; the other has his three initials incorporated in the entire number.
I can't see the point other than simple vanity. I think it's fairly complicated and expensive to obtain, and to transfer if you replace the car; but the Driver & Vehicle Licencing Agency seems to have found it quite a lucrative trade.
