Andrew, you can likely get away with adding the dot in DNW.COM

I did it with WiFi.com – I shot for WIFICOM on the plate and explained it was short for wireless fidelity commerce. Once the plates arrived, slapped a dot sticker right between the I and the C. Best advertising dollars Ive ever spent.

Sort of related…there should be a way to buy vanity phone numbers from the owners.Lets say you had 1800JETSKIS.COM.You don’t really need the corresponding phone # to be successful…but it would be nice.If your jet ski business blows up-I’m sure the owners of the number are gonna be annoyed by the calls should they decide to keep the number.

I am glad they agreed to grandfather those who already have a personalized license plate. I own “LEGE”, which is the nickname for the Texas Legislature. As a lobbyist and attorney, it’s a good way to let others know where I work.

Scott and Adam – that’s what I’d do. But it used to be they could pull you over in Texas for using a license plate frame , so I don’t know if they’d smile on this.

Not sure about Texas law on this, but you could be like the guys at WeatherTech, who also own Mats.com. I’m pretty sure they had a space on the plate then added the punctuation themselves:
