Yup, same rizal plates but the letters are bolder and the plates are thinner.
I have a feeling na mag-fade yung color sa plates like the first X-series pag tumagal (hope not)
Hindi ko pa rin naman magamit yung plates kasi wala pang stickers. IMO mas mahirap i-contest na walang stickers pero may plate ka na, plus, mas mainit sa mata yung walang stickers kaysa sa walang plates (dealer plates lang) -- unlike pag wala ka pang plates tapos someone flagged you down, you can easily show LTO's memorandum re: no plate no travel policy.
Here are my plates, notice that the letters are now bolder and the colors are darker
