jfucler, You would have to contact DOT to find out for sure but i have stopped people who had a extra digit on their plates and they said they apid extra for it, above and beyond the cost of a personalized plate.
As for the new 3rd district/communications center i have also driven by it but havent been iin it yet but here it is nice with all the bells and whistles you would expect for a new work place. But if i did go in i hear i wouldnt get far because our normal work ID's dont work their.
