Since my car is already registered, I don't have to physically present the plate
when I get tags, stickers, etc., so I don't think I will have a problem with
the DMV
when the plate comes back from the restorers. As far as having an "altered"
plate
on my car...it's like we always said when I was a lineman on the construction
crews,
"a man riding by on a fast horse will never notice it".
