Only concern I have is.. some states (like here in NC) have recent laws that make it a fine if you cover the state text with a plate cover. If you look at the plates here in NC, you'll see that it'll probably cover the "NORTH CAROLINA" text.

If you could make one that has the piston at the top or the bottom, would help some of us!

I do LOVE it though, I have a Firestorm Red FR-S and this would be awesome!

Cue the Fry Take my money meme....looks great and I'd love to have a good replacement for my dealer frame!

Looks good, can't wait for a final product picture.

I reallllly like it! My only concern is the bottom covering up the state name (NC here) which the cops get ticked about.

I like this.. when you have a production model.. i'll buy one.. Can they be color matched? I think that would be cool instead of just the red..

unfortunately not at the moment. if i make another color that would be another mold. another mold would cost a lot. then the plate frame price will need to go up as well

Nothing crazy. Nice and simple. Very nice.

Rotate the frame 180°, OK?
