Jewc, Your plates may be more expensive but at least you have 100+ options for the background... here are our shitty plates. The standard one is hideous and you don't see it here but we have baby shit green letter/numbers. I had to pay to put the Husker plates on all of our vehicles as I can't stand the the standard one.
Texas plates are so high cause the state turned all the vanity plates over to a private company to run cause the state was losing its ass on it. So the private company had to jack up the price to make there money and still give some to the state.
