Clean them off or leave them the way they came? That is the question. LOL Not all the spots on the front plate are rock chips. I think some of it will come off.

Like I said, I was curious as to what vehicle these plates might have come off of last. I noticed an envelope in the bag and just thought it was a receipt. I later opened it up to find the registration for a 1996 Chev Cpe. Another Camaro!! How cool!!!

Greg:
Remember the reception we got from the CSP?
What a great organization.
Escorts to Central City up the mountain.
Let us run our fake plates for three days.
Run uncovered the three days, and NOBODY abused anything!!
Appears as of now we (PCOOA) will be having our nationals in Golden in 2013.
Hopefully will see you again there.I just wish FL. was as helpful!!
When I started showing their cars back 10 years ago, they welcomed my ideal with open arms and we had a SUPER working relationship.
Can't say enough about these people!!

I count myself fortunate with that given Bruce scored both original plates for my Michigan State Police SSP at the time he owned it. Also lucky with (now) Captain Rice presenting me with the plate he kept displayed in his office that was used on my Missouri State Highway Patrol SSP.

What's most amazing about this with the CSP is they went out of their way to dig these up and send to all of you. From what I can tell they did that without being asked. Great organization!

This just goes to show these things can happen. Just takes having the right attitude and spirit when it comes to this hobby and fostering good relationships with the agencies.

Evil,Greg.. Congrats !

Mine also came ...But as mentioned earlier, NOT period correct for my 88 CSP! but it's the correct unit #.
CSP may never offer this again ??so we took the opportunity to make a GREAT collective item purchase . The plates are Brand New..

Plus ....We like the mountain design at the top of the plate.

Those are very sharp Hector.

A better pic of my plates. New plates would be cool, especially since they are original/official plates. But I think these used plates are just as cool because they were on the car while on patrol.

Out of curiosity, I may call the CSP back on Monday just to see if they have CSP 360 in any other plate design.

But I'm completely happy with these.

When this thread first came out there were NO plates available for my 1990 unit number 237 CSP car.

but after being able to grab a mint pair of Texas Exempt plates for the 1985 last night on EBAY I thought I would make a couple calls.

Called Colorado today and miraculously they found some more plates after the initial batch. They have two mint plates "CSP-237" series 1989 to 1991 (like the plates Hector posted).

and I also have a set of e plates being made for the 1982 CHP car.

It has been a good SSP license plate week !!
