Body color license plate airbrush project

Guys just thought I'd share what I think was a nice touch. Small project over the weekend. Simply picked up a can of body color touch-up paint and "airbrushed" the edges of my license plate. Took 10 mins max. Probably will only work best with a dark car/light license plate. (Though I think most plates are now white...or at least there's a white option. I remember car aficionados complaining in PA once that the old mustard orange-colored PA plates were ugly spots on their cars).

definitely never seen one before...but there's a chance that painting a license plate is a no no...sort of like doing any modification to $ results in a kick in the @$$.

Yeah the state LEO's around here frown on modifying the plate.

Yes I think technically it is a no-no. I may be wrong but I doubt I'd ever get pulled over JUST for that. Though I suppose it's a liability if I get pulled over for speeding and the cop is looking to be a real harda**. One of the other MA plate style actually comes with a similar blue fading around the top & bottom edges, so I'm hoping that it'll generally go unnoticed if it is not pointed out.

Give a cop an excuse:

Big bore loud exhaust.
Heavy tint on front windows.
Driving while wearing a "hoody".
Changing or covering the license plate.
Driving in the fast lane when the adjacent lane is empty.
Using ones middle finger inappropriately!

I got pulled over for speeding in the right lane because the cop was stuck in the left lane with all the other "fast" drivers.

logic? no, ticket? no.
