I just checked and that configuration is available for Florida if I can get it I will be stoked… But thanks to you and ur awesome thinking- that is a clever plate
My wife, who is a speech language pathologist didn’t like my phonetic version of GLADIATOR. She said it should be GLADE8R, I told her that normal guys like me are going to be able figure out my version. I am in the CWB/St Pete all the time and I’ll trade these cool Iowa plates to live in that area.

I got mine back from the detailer with ceramic coating. I am really looking forward to the easier cleanings.

Which brand of ceramic coating and how long for the application? Also, approximate cost of you don't mind? Considering doing this on my black Gladiator.

Damn! I have GLADI8R but it's regular IA plates. The black is awesome.
Change your plate to the blackout ones. Then you'll have some wall art.

Blacked out plywood would look cool, wonder if Wisconsin has black plates.

I did the Opti-Coat Pro, 5 year warranty and my final price was $1200. The quote tool he used on his tablet was some kind of vendor provided software. I’m guessing it is fairly standardized. I did get $400 off with the truck being new with 16 miles on it at his shop. The new paint saved him a chunk of prep time. The labor is most of the cost.

I left it there for a week while I tended to other things, I wasn’t in a hurry nor do I like rushing guys on a thing like this. If they need another day or two to get it right, so be it. I think it could be done in a couple of days depending on the amount of corrections needed.

Time will tell if it proves to be a good investment. I’ve dropped more cash in one night trying to impress a woman. I bet the Jeep gives a better Return On Investment.

You mean the $1200 on ceramic coating of the Jeep should impress women more than the 1 night attempt?
