I was wondering the same thing about Illinois. Does anyone know how to go about doing it here? Unfortunately, we just got a new plate design which isn't on that side yet.
For some bizzare reason Illinois has both vanity plates and personalized plates. Vanity plates are defined as up to 3 numbers only or 3 to 7 letters only. Personalized plate are a minimum of 3 letters plus at least 1 number to a maximum of 7 characters. If I am reading their description right, 350Z wouldn't even qualify. They also charge a lot more for the vanity plates.
The DMV (called the Secretary of State in IL) has been plagued with bribery and corruption scandals, so this doesn't supprise me.

Thanks,

Don't know he situation in Illinois although I grew up outside Chicago....OK so I never really grew up but that's not the point...In California I was able to go to the DMV website..check on availability of the plate I wanted...download the form which I filled out and took to my local AAA office...the plates cost $41 and they will cahh me in 4 to 6 weeks when they come in...they will hold them until I call them and tell them the car has arrived.
Hope this helps.

for ca you can just go to https://vrir.dmv.ca.gov/ipp/ippMain.jsp
You can check to see if the plate you want is available, and order it all online. I think you only need to have the car when you pick it up.

In California, the car must be registered and plated before you can pick up your vanity plates. AAA has had mine for three months now. I have to bring in the original plates once I receive them and make the exchange. I figure it will probably be at least 30 days after I get the car.
