Euro plates(which one should i get)

Having a hard time deciding which one to go with.Looking for your input.Unsure if i want to get the basic USA plate or the state of Arizona? The other ones are the plates for my heritage.The top Latvia plate is the older version.The bottom one is the newer version.
Seems odd that the USA plate accepts 1 letter less then the others
A,B,C or D

There is no such thing as an American Euro tag so this choice makes it look kind of official.

I agree with cabriopilot on the USA/Arizona plates. They look artificial, fake, like they do not belong.

Either of the Latvia plates would work well, but the older style is the one that is know the best, so would probably look the best. It all depends on whether you want to go traditional or contemporary.

Are you planning on having it only on the front or on the rear as well.

Also where are you getting them from?

I have had mine on order for 5 weeks now from europlates.com and they can not tell me when mine will be done. I was hoping to have them for a car show I have entered my car in at the end of the month, but i don't think i will get them in time.

I like the bottom 2, for reasons stated above. 1st choice is the older Lat plate. I ordered ours thru

http://www.licenseplates.tv/

and had the plate in 1 wk. Very pleased with it, will probably order another. Nice metal plate, looks great. Lots of options for their plates.

"C" or "D" - they both look great...

Calicoskies,

Just wondering if the letters on your plate are raised or are they printed on.

Thanks
