i don't think personalized plates cost 200.. i got mine done late last year with a standard florida plate with 7 letters on it for about 50-60 bucks. only thing is if they find the plate offensive upon overlooking the "application" you'll lose the payment and will have to resubmit for a new different plate. i thought mine was for sure going to be denied so i had put the "purchase" in the back of my mind and 2 months later i come home to find my plate in the mail. i just laughed. now and then i get comments and a few laughs from it.also re-newing the plate only cost like 30-40 bucks.
