I'm sure someone will eventually do it. Take some plexiglass, heat it up and mold it as best you can so that it matches the license plate cover. Cut and trim it to fit. Mask off S C I O N from the template, paint it, run some red LED behind and you're off to the rices... I mean races!

Here is the font if you wish to tackle it.

emblems/badging suck. it just builds up dirt and gunk and makes it horrible for detailers to actually restore your paint. its especially worse if you're like those porsches, maseratis . i know for a fact the infiniti badging on the back of g35s/g37s are so annoying

Why would you buy a car from a manufacturer that you'd be so ashamed of you feel the need to remove their badging?
Some people on this forum astound me with their oddities.

My current "Toy" is completely de-badged. It is a lot of fun having people come up to me all the time and ask: "What kind of car is that?". It even happens when I am at a racetrack surrounded by "car enthusiast"!

Most people who use the word "ricer" can not afford car modifications. As such they resort to what is called Ad-Hominem attack in which they attempt to discredit their opponent in an effort to make their claim sound more valid.
I went through car revolution between 1999 all through 2011 and its always the same story. Best thing you can do as a car owner is to NOT do as others say but do as YOU wish. Tailor your car to how you want it, decorate it how you wish, modify in any ways or shape as you please as long as car remains mostly legal to drive on the street and most importantly.... enjoy YOUR car.

That makes no sense. There are many on here myself include they can afford to mod our cars but I will still call rice rice when I see it.

Disagree. IMO most people that use the word "ricer" can better afford car modifications than the typically younger guys that are adding BFWs, wheels with big lip, lowering springs or coil-overs, fart cans and wild paint or vinyl. They just more often spend their money on newer GT and sport type cars and keep them factory stock more or less.

I do agree with you that each person should modify and enhance their ride to suit their own taste and say to "F" with what people think as long as the car remains safe to drive on the street.
