I think your plate looks pretty good, Amazon, and if you are paying the bills, then I say by all means get what you want for your truck. Both my daily driver '01 F150 and my '96EB Bronco have personalized plates. They cost $25 a year to renew here, on top of the yearly fee. The ones on the F150 has been on 4 different vehicles I've owned since I got them in 2002, and the ones on the Bronco have been on it since I bought it. I'm sort of attached to the Bronco's plate, so I plan to keep it as long as I can. The truck's vanity plate fit in pretty well with the car that I originally bought them for, but not so much with the 3 succeeding pickups they've been on, so I may at some point let them go back.
I've only gotten pulled over once since I've had a personalized plate on anything, and that situation amounted to more of a "speed trap" than anything, in my opinion. In my experience, anyway, personalized plates have been no more a cop-magnet than a bumper sticker or anything else you can stick on a car or truck.

Whether your vanity plate says something about you, your lifestyle, your ride or your philosophy on life... I say go for it. Life is too short for regretting what you should'a could'a.
I have vanity plates on one vehicle. My '75 Pontiac Bonneville. They say "BAUNEE." Because it is a Bonneville and we got it from our best friend Bonnie's dad in Negaunee (MI.) So it means something to us. But to everyone else it just announces that the huge Nimitz class coupe we are driving is indeed a Bonneville...

Good Idea, Robert.
I'ma get custom plates, eventually.
My dad back in '86 (Before some of you were even born) had custom plates that said "Jerrs84" Meanin' Jerry's '84, The kid he bought it from was named Jerry, and the truck was a '84.
My dad left the plates on it, and people used to call him Jerry, he just laughed & didn't correct them...
