Texas has so many plate offerings, they would not know.
If I used my current, legal tag numbers/letters, and the plate looks official (size, reflectivity etc) which the Texas one I was looking at looks to be, they probably would not care or even notice.
Custom plates (Even ones just a different color) are $40/year just for the plates, so $60 once to have "custom" plates would be a cost savings for me.
I would know it was different and "illegal", but LEO would probably care less.

I would not do it for my truck, I already have EMS plates, but for my wife's car it is something I would think about.

Just use my current plate ID and find a plate that nobody here has (the Texas plate with the cowboy at the bottom is no longer used here, but I always liked that design).
Does not look like they ship to the US though.
They probably dont ship to the US because I would imagine it is illegal to falsify license plates.

They are not legal for road use there either. They are novelty plates, probably somebody in the US makes them as well.

Put a starter in my SuperCrew. Not nearly as bad as I thought it was, it came out and went in extremely easy! Now all I gotta do is bump the key and it starts. The old one was slow and the solenoid failing was the final straw for it. It would just click once and then nothing. It would eventually start, but it would take a few tries.

Default Well yesterday.....

I made a radiator support cover from some black aluminum race car skin and vacuum hose.
Not to shabby !
Also polished my Lightning Turkey pan with brass wire wheel.
Also not to shabby.
