California's Illegal Black License Plates | California News
Description
California drivers chasing that iconic black-on-black license plate look are hitting roadblocks—because the unofficial, vinyl-wrapped “lipstick” style plates are illegal, risking fines over $1,000. The state offers two legal alternatives: a 2015 specialty plate with black background and yellow numbers (for $50 extra), and a digital rear display (sold for $899) that shows white-on-black numbers. Meanwhile, vintage designs from the 50s and 70s never made it back into production due to lack of demand. And yes—hand-painted plates? Also illegal.
