I'm seeing a lot of these lately. Evidently they strip the paint, polish and clear coat the metal and run 'em that way. Looks like a good way to invite getting pulled over. Attempting to make a license plate unreadable is clear probable cause.

On a related note here in Wisconsin the DOT has taken to forcing drivers with older plates to buy new ones rather than just paying the annual renewal because they are concerned about the paint "fading". I've got plates hanging on the back of my garage (exterior) from the 1950s and 60s that have renewal stickers from the 80s with no fading whatsoever. Are they just using cheaper paint now, or do they just want the added income from plate sales rather than renewals? My guess is both.
I was told it is because they use scrap steel now.
