personalized mantis plates

!Xoible · 08-18-2007, 05:03 PM

hey dudes... im trying to personalize a lic plate.
i wanted one that says MANTIS, but guess what, some other fool is obsessed with mantis too, so it's not available.

i need some sort of combination of
seven star mantis
so i was thinking
1. 7*MNTIS
2. 7MANTIS
3. MANTI5 (five instead of S)
4. M8NTIS

which one do you guys think is closest? also, what kind of explanation do they prefer/require?

BMWE90 · 08-18-2007, 05:10 PM

well the closest to Mantis would be MANTI5 (cant get any closer than this).

true... i was afraid people would read it manti-five... what about 7MANTIS? or 7*MNTIS?

BMWE90 · 08-18-2007, 05:15 PM

7*MNTIS could be anything- 7 Mountain IS, 7 mountains, 7 minnesota TIS, etc. lol

Seriously if you cant read MANTI5 you really need to pay more attention to the road and not trying to figure out someone's plate.

+1. this looks pretty close to mantis

LOLrance · 08-18-2007, 05:20 PM

When i first saw 7*MNTIS, i thought it read 7 mints lol. I like MANTI5. Pretty much as close as you can get to MANTIS

werd, i want cvrmtrl lol, but i tihnk i might get keyed.

PshhhhhMW · 08-18-2007, 05:31 PM

i wouldn't bother trying manti5 they'll reject it at final screening because it looks too similar to mantiS. i tried doing it with GIGGITY and requested G1GG1TY and they denied me for the same reason.

what about G35luver....LOLOLOL

!Xoible · 08-18-2007, 06:12 PM

i think im going with MANTIIS. it reads mantis, and if it has an inside joke referring to IIS.

SpecC · 08-18-2007, 06:19 PM

What's the story behind the Mantis name?

SpecC · 08-18-2007, 09:23 PM

judging from his array of avatars used, i'm going to assume that he likes martial arts and something about the mantis style.

since mant1s is gone, i think MANTI5 is the closest thing you'll get, but i see how people would think that's manti-5. you're in a tough bit! if i think of anything else, i'll post it here later haha. good luck
