The BMV says as of this week, approximately 70,000 vehicles are now sporting the new Blackout license plates. Indiana’s sales numbers have outpaced other states’ version of the plate. While many of the Blackout license plates sold have been to standard passenger vehicles, the BMV would like to remind customers that the Blackout plate is also available for light trucks, motorcycles and RVs.
