Opinions on license plate frame?
Hey guys,
I'm about to start machining some more plate frames and I wanted to make a few for the FT86 crowd. I was thinking about a few generic designs, but I wanted to hear about what other community members might want before I begin cutting metal. So if I were to make some new designs, what would you guys like to see? Here's my plate frame and a few I've done for other enthusiasts for reference(sorry, it's a Civic): A few concept frames I've done so far: |

the FR-S one, and "Because race car" are both sexy. Plus it would be an easy way for me to put the model of my car back onto it, but keep it centered (which is why i removed the FR-S from the trunk, unbalanced the aesthetic)

Can you make them Without the lower two holes?? They're useless on the BRZ/FRS...and would look so much better without them! If so...Interested!

Definitely an option. Like all of my products, custom engraving will be available so you'll be able to make combinations or do something completely unique if you want. Quote:

I'll discuss the possibility with a machinist friend to see if he knows of any feasible solutions. |

An easy fix for the holes is to offer something to fill them like some tiny 86 emblems I think I might have to hit you up and talk about some one off machining and engraving I'd like done.

Count me in. I'd love if you could get permission from the site owners to put ft86club.com on there as well. Big FR-S logo on the bottom and website up top.

Can you make one of the "because race car" frames where the machined writing is red in color?

Is it possible to get one made without the lower center raised portion? In BC, Canada the lower center is where we put our insurance tag.

Right now I'm looking for engraving options. Because Race Car was popular choice with the Honda crowd, and it's universal. I made an (86) plate frame last weekend so I'll be uploading a few photos of that later tonight as well. Any other options people would like to see? |
