Pick the liscense plate, pick the custom design, then select empty plate and go for it. I did this design just to show you how you could cut and paste letters and graphics and did it in about 5 minutes (granted I am a nerd):

They have a nice set of tools that work with your web browser to add text and pictures. Use ADD GRAPHIC for a picture then click on the picture and push it about where you like it. Use ADD TEXT for lettering. I mooched the stovebolt engine from our web site.

Now for the bad news, at least in Texas, you are required to have a front liscense plate, but its not universally enforced. And you are not allowed liscense plate frames, although its also not universally enforced. However, nothing is keeping you from using one at a car show, or just displaying it elsewhere on your vehicle.

And the weird thing is, on my jeep, an antique vehicle, in Texas you are only issued one plate. However, you are not supposed to drive those vehicles except on way/to from show/meet and in parades.
