This may be a different topic than the usual but this is going to my fellow members who live in California. I want to order the California legacy plates for my silverado that is in Siren Red. Would the black with yellow lettering look good on my truck?

I'll post a picture of the license plate in question.

Funny this comes up...im actually about to order mine also. In my personal opinion I love the plates but......Only on black cars and some white could possibly see on red depending on styling That's why I waited till I bought a black truck.

 

Your red could look good but I believe it depends on what other modifications and personalizations you have done. Can we see a pic?

 

My buddy has a charcoal Camaro mostly blacked out, he put them on his car and well to say the least he ruined the styling on his car in my opinion

 

In contrast another buddy has them on his midnight 2500 and it looks on point!!!

 

I don't think the issue is the black it's the yellow. It gives a hard contrast on anything but white or black

 

Funny how I complain but all colors used to come with these ...Maybe we're more into the whole shoes match your watch deal then they used to be haha

 

Good luck

 

But for my 90$ first year and 40 yearly there after I'd want to be sure the plates "finished " the look on my vehicle

I am always amazed people will spend money on those plates. Our registration and inspection is about 100 bucks a year in texas by the time your done. Add another 100 a year for custom plates...no thanks.lol

Those would sure look good on a classic car or truck......... Or if you tow classics.......

 

If you like it go for it - but the general public could not care less about all these special plates - I get a kick out of deciphering them - and we certainly have had a few - but it's not for anything more than getting a plate you can remember.........

 

Washington state doesn't even emboss raise the letters anymore - so they look cheap too.........

I felt the same way until these were offered to me as a bday gift this year! They were a lot less expensive than other modifications! Op, your truck looks great! The legacy plates will make your truck look outstanding! You will be surprised how many more people will take notice of your truck!

Thanks lol. I'm proud of my truck, working my behind off to be able to buy it at such a young age. If my truck was black then no doubt in my mind I would order them. I'll have to print out a copy to see if it satisfies my picky eye.

If you had red pants, would you wear yellow and black socks? No, I'm thinking.

 

I don't think this will finish your look. And I'm seriously assuming no one on this forum really has red pants. I do have some yellow and black Batman socks though...

In California it's 50 for the plates the first time then 40 a year tacked onto our 450$ yearly registration

Very nice plate! I recently purchased BC parks plates! I like unique licence plates and I don't think it matters if the colors conflict with a vehicles' color scheme!

 

 

very cool plate!.. is that an albino bear?

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
