I think for myself that's what I should do too/can you give me a link to the seller etc? and a general price, please. And any headsup in buying shipping if you can think of anything?

The plates run about $110 each with free shipping.

Since I have "faux" YOM plates, I bought the metal tags for the stickers from a license plates dealer at a local swap meet. They were $10 each. With all of the cost cutting here in CA, I'm surprised that the DMV even sent a set.

Wow! That's going to be a difficult plate to restore. Jeez better hope the DMV worker is legally blind. Since you need two "serviceable" plates what's the shape of the other one? Maybe you can slide a couple of really good "distressed" repro plates by them. I'm going to buy a couple of repro plates as some of the guys suggested here and put my real plates away. Too bad these are really nice shape considering they were stamped while Jerry Brown's Father was governor. Feels like buying real jewelry copying it and wearing the fake one. Hopefully my tags will be here in another 3-4 weeks. Fingers crossed.

You are right tho this is a little rough but all it needs is paint.
below is a couple I ''restored" for a friend of mine.The numbers in the 1rst plate were flat,that would be the plate with no tags in the 2nd pic.I think that was 20 dollars he spent well.

Looks like you have another hobby or a second line of work but you should charge more. You're way underpaid.
