Custom License Plate Holder's

[YoBoyThacker]

Alright i've always heard get a license plate holder off of a bumper(like and explorer or something) cut out the plate holder, position it the way you want and the fiberglass it onto your car. Is there anyway to buy the piece by itself or another material that could be used(IDK a pan or something)??? If not what would be the best place to get one??Here's an example if you don't know what i'm talking about.........[IMG][/IMG]

whattt?!?! im going to be doing that samething...i didn't think any civic had that done...blahhhh

anyways heres something i threw up in photoshop with what i wanted to do

[YoBoyThacker]

Do you know how your gonna do it??

[civic_geek133]

dunno yet, i heard of people getting a template from a explorer like you said...but i don't know

i dont what all i would need, you could probably try asking some minitruck people to be sure though...i was trying to find out but didnt know where to check

i think its called something like frenching? im not sure


if anyone knows anything from a car that i could use go ahead and post it


hmm, now that i think about it, i wonder if you could use the the one off the stock bumper and cut it out?

lol, i bet it's been done many times over to a civic gl tho! You're going to mold it into the rear bumper? I've seen it done before looks different

i met on a 4th gen lol my bad

id put it on the center peace on the hatch...but i would never do something like that... ...just get a flat peace of aluminum long enough to get the tag bolted to it and put it on the other side of the bumper ....nuts and bolts from there

yes it is called frenching, and dammit! i thought i was gonna be the first to do it here i kept the idea to myself so noone else would do it lol
i was thinking of doing it on the hatch, but since i'm putting 90 teg tails in i cant now, so i'm doing the rear bumper. what i was thinking is take ur liscence plate off, make a metal pan in the shape of it, fiberglass the pan (using the pan as a mould) then fiberglass it to the bumper

you can get a metal license plate box from fbimini.com for 19.95 http://www.fbimini.com/products_deta...?item_no=mm400 just mold that in

[slammedcivicsi]

just bend one out of sheet metal.....I made like 10 of them for under $20

my on the issue is, its illegal, and its a nice way for cops to pull you over, i was looken for a talegate for my s 10, and thats when i found out, most states requirement is (or along the lines of) "licence plate must be stright, the way it was designed to be mounted, and securly attached" dont get me wrong it looks awsome, especally if done right, but, why ask to get pulled over for a ticket, to have to get rid of it?

[civic_geek133]

well i guess that depends on which state you live in...

iv'e seen trucks around here with that done and i don't think they have gotten hassled...if you have lights on it i dont think theres a problem

[canned4thgen]

eh i got pulled over for the one on my truck but its still on there.... risk ya gotta take lol
