Not Ranked
Here's what my DMV manager advised me to do. After paying all the fees at DMV, she gave me 90-day TOP (in July 2007), It had a 10 on it meaning good through October 2007. She told me to wait to make an appointment with CHP until I received my SB 100. I received two more TOP's to get me through March 2008 while I was making appointments with CHP and BAR. The CHP will ask you for your SB 100 number and the rest of the Form 124 application, along with the paperwork that proves you paid your fees. That officer will make the decision whether to use the existing registered VIN or assign a new California VIN and affix a VIN plate in "two" places on the car. One is hidden.
Once you're done at CHP, then make your appointment with the BAR through the (800) number on their website. The one I went to is most likely the closest to you and it's next to the tennis courts at Golden West College. They use college students to help with the inspection. Pretty painless there.
Then take your BAR paperwork back to DMV, and they will issue you the license plates on the spot. Done. No need for "services" or additional fees. Good luck.
