Black PA License Plate
Question, for PA or non-PA memebers, do any you guys have black PA plates? PA plates are the hideous blue, white and blue but I’ve seen a few cars, recently a blacked out F80 with black PA plates. Do any of you guys have them? Where did you get them? And more importantly, have you had any trouble with the state troopers? I really want to get them but nervous about getting a ticket.

Not familiar with black plates...unless you mean the D.A.R.E..which is issued by the state, so not sure why that would be a problem

Not the DARE plates. But I’ve seen guys driving around with license plates that black with white lettering. Here’s a picture of it.

Uh--wow...that looks pretty cool. But that was not on the PA DOT site as an option, so am guessing that is not issued by the state and therefore would be deemed illegal. I'd be careful going that route.

Definitely illegal but cops that I’ve talked to said that as long as the plate reads legit then they usually don’t care..
You can get them off Etsy and what not. I think it’s neat to throw on when going to a meet or something but I wouldn’t daily drive those plates |

No black plates are currently available in PA although a new law has passed in the House and if approved by the Senate will ultimately allow custom plates from approved vendors:
Here is a link to the info: link to pa2632 |

They did mine and they look sick! Also had multiple discussions and the general answer seems to be if it's readable and matches your reg, it's not worth the argument. |

the trick to the PA Dare plate is, there is a company that makes replica dare plates, just change your registration to something with DA in front, then run the replica.

So, I thought I would follow-up, I didn't go with a black plate because it would look weird on Tanzanite, so I got a replica of the 1976 Bicentennial plate, blue with gold lettering. I blacked out 3 numbers on my plate but left the other 4 so you can see the gold letters. I'm happy with it. Really close to the original plate design. Got it off of Etsy from a seller that specializes in plates like this.
