These cars have such great detail and I'm surprised noone has mentioned the license plates yet!

Each casting has a license plate on it from a different state with details that would be extremely hard to make out with the naked eye if it weren't for where its shown on the packaging.

Amazing.

Personalized plates like "2FAST4U" or normal letter/number combos?

Boss 429: Alabama "429"
Impala: Texas "SS"
GTO: Oregon "GOAT"
Mustang conv.: Colorado "RAGTP"
Boss 302: New Mexico "302"

Yes it is a nice touch that the plates are so detailed... some of them seem a bit small, but it is still great that they are there. The one on the Impala seems ok for scale though. Here is a close-up:
