It was done after the fact, along with some of the other trinkets we received along the way, so it depends on whether or not the owner installed it, but yes. It was a console plaque and a plaque for the glove box. It came in a CNC milled "86" metal box that I really liked. Glove box plaque has the "signatures" of all the folks that worked on the design.

The problem with the plaques is that they weren't attached before delivery so not everyone put them on the cars, and if I'm not mistaken one or two may have even sold theirs on eBay.

We had the choice in Long Beach to decide if we wanted numbers or something more generic and the group decision was to all have them say "1 of 86" so they are all the same.

Picture of the box and the contents below. Also a thread on it here...

Visit my Owner's Journal where I wax philosophic on all things FR-S
Post your 86 or see others in front of a(n) (in)famous landmark.
What fits in your 86? Show us the "Junk In Your Trunk".
