Travis - I see you live in PA. I have a red STA and also have the PA DMV "DARE" plate for yrs. with no problems. I think it's $35 at the DMV. Cop friend told me to get it actually.
Was pulled over last week by a state police on a "DUI fishing expedition". Didn't hassle me at all which is a surprise since everyone knows PA state cops are usually pricks. First time I've been pulled over in my red STA since I bought it last year. Good luck man!
