California has a number of personalized plate designs to choose from.

Texas still only allows 6 characters.

I wonder if cops hate these custom plates? It sure makes it tough to get a plate number when needed.

Sure, Illinois has a whole bunch of them as well. 7 letters allowed for Illinois

Texas should be getting the 7 character plates, but I think it's only on the more expensive premium plates.

Texas has long had a bunch of different custom plates, but the new designs on their My Plates website were much better than others I've seen. I really like the live-type rendering so you can see exactly what it will look like.

When Virginia first came out with their "Scenic -- Autumn" plate, it was recalled and re-issued with a cosmetic correction. Instead of being just a border, the autumn leaves background originally covered the entire plate, making the plate number very, very difficult to read.

Sure, Florida has ca. 110 different plate styles, you can get these with either custom text or the standard state issued number, your choice. Either way choosing one of these plates costs something like $12/yr more than the "standard issue".
