LM still has the plans for them, I'm sure if you got in touch, they'd be able to make you one again.

I only made 20 plates, 5 of which were BRZ plates. The one in the picture you quoted was my prototype, the final designs were slightly different. I added some anti-skid tape to the plate because the polished aluminum was WAY too slippery.
Before this thread get deleted or etc, I'll clear few things.

1. I see your point that, you want to make something cool for the community. I respect that, but at the same time, you are selling something here. Not just one, but 20 or so item. That count as vending.
2. I'm not sure how it happened, cuz I'm not the one banned you or saw that report, but can you justify to other vendors who actually pay the vendor fees each month to be vendor here that what you try to do was justified? Cuz I can tell you, they'll say "no".
3. Hachi (our admin) ain't by no means money hungry, but he's very VERY strict. There's no grey zone with him and it's literally black and white. Which sometimes I feel lil harsh... but as a mod, I know what's black and what's white, makes thing clear to understand.

You might not like those answer, but please don't make it sounds like we're the only bad guy here.

Thanks

ichi
