New Jersey license plates get sleek makeover

TRENTON (WABC) -- New Jersey license plates are getting a sleeker and more durable look.

The traditional embossed aluminum plates are being replaced with digitally-printed flat lettering.

The colors will remain the same.

Officials believe the new design is less likely to wither in the sun, rain and snow compared to the current design.

The state will continue to issue embossed plates until the current inventory runs out.
