This is the first prototype I have come up with. It is real carbon fibre (I tried my hardest to find the Toyota T Carbon style pattern like the rest of the car but so far can't find anything). The centre section is stainless steel and is all waterjet cut by myself. The engraving has been waterjet too but it's not 100% perfect so I may go down the proper machine engraving route. The plaque isn't actually screwed to the car as I didn't want to leave any marks although each piece is screwed together using stainless bolts. I may decide to use double sided velcro to keep it in place but after a 600 mile trip on country roads it didn't make a sound or move a mm. Sorry about the dust on it in the picture but you get the idea. If anyone else would like me to make one for your car let me know and I could price it up. What do you guys think? Cool or Lame?

This is really cool, I wouldn't mind getting one that has "scion FRS" instead of Toyota ft86. Only because I want it to match.
