    I'm going to put my sticker on the black bumper also. The green sticker blends in too well with
    the blue prime that it makes it difficult to notice. The green sticker will stand out more on the black bumper.
    Thanks for posting your pictures.

    SleazyE, how long after you purchased the vehicle did you decide to send in the app without plate #?

    I just got the prime on 02/22 and tried calling the DMV yesterday. They stated they did not have any registrations pending for my VIN. I want to send in the HOV Application without plate number, but not before they at least have the VIN number in their system.

    To be sure. I have called and got my my license plate number from my dealer. Just use that number in your application. I did not use the temp number on the windshield.. not sure if that will work???

    I bought the car before it arrived (12/28/16) in order to get the contract dated before the new year. The vehicle arrived on 1/14/17 and that is the day I sent in the application. I received the plates the following week. I was a little nervous thinking it might not be processed but when I called the DMV they said that they use the VIN number when processing the apps and if the car has a license plate assigned in their system they will just transfer it over despite the license plate info being blank on the app.

    I sent in my HOV application on 2/10/17 and just received the green stickers yesterday, 2/27/17. Waaaaay faster than I was expecting! Awesome. :D

    The CA $1500 rebate and PG&E $500 credit on the other hand were applied for over a month ago, but still "processing."

    On my end it took about two months for my stickers to arrive. I sent my application on 12/29 and didn't receive my stickers until last week (02/21). I think they wait to send them out in batches so some people wait a while while others may get them VERY quickly.

    As for my CA rebate, I sent that in on 12/15 as well and received it at the beginning of February. So it took about a month and a half.
