OK, Mike:
Sorry to complicate your life, BUT the EA plates are black letters on a
white background. SO, from a color coordination point of view, anything
goes (in Connecticut). Furthermore, the EA plates are no extra cost
(the LI Sound plates are like $50 extra to contribute to the cause).
Still, Early American just doesn't sit well with me...not on a LBC
anyway.
