Well, I understand where you guys are coming from, but Blue Jackets seem okay with leaving the plates on the photos. For me, personally, it's not about courtesy or anything, as much as aesthetics - I just don't like the looks of photos with edited plates. Those empty black rectangles where the number is supposed to be :)

Some updates about the 997's light - spoke to the owner yesterday, he fixed it for 400 ringgit, bought from his friend. The original light cost a few thousand.
