David and others,
My bugeye came with a pair of black and yellow plates which they tried to
force me to turn in. New plates were issued over my objections so I somehow
"forgot" to turn the black and yellows. After a few months of fighting and
writing an appeal to DMV that included evidence that the B+Ys were correct
for this car, they finally relented and allowed me to go back to the
original B+Y plates. So it can be done if you submit the appeal form with
appropriate evidence. The woman who called to tell me I won was actually
very nice and accomodating.
