Big fan of the yellow plates. It was among the primary ways I identified unmarked patrol cars back in my days of speeding. Since almost nobody has them on a newer car, it stands out very well. I haven't paid attention to see if they are still running these yellow plates, mostly because I drive at a speed I'm willing to be "caught" doing. I don't slow down when I see an upcoming speed trap, and I don't slow down if I happen to be passing a cop. Mostly it's my way of protesting those who slam on their brakes and go 10 MPH under the speed limit after they had been doing 20 above, and hey, if I'm comfortable going the speed I'm going, I expect a resonable officer to also be comfortable with it.
