Transferring NY plates. Which plates do I go with to the DMV.

I don't even know if I titled this correctly, so bear with me.

My previous car got totaled. Managed to get my customized plates off of it. Bought used car from Carvana that came with registered NY plates. I plan on going to the NY DMV to give those back and transfer my customized plates on to it.

So my question(s) is/are..
1- Do I drive to the DMV with the new issued plates or my own own customized plates?
If answer is "with the issued plates", then do I transfer my customized plates at the parking lot?

2- Or do I have to show both the new issued plates that are going to be turned in, as well as my customized plates at the DMV desk person (This would leave the car without plates in the parking lot., and knowing NY, they will probably tow it away).

Honestly confused on the procedure.
