Topic #18061 6 posts Started by Digndoug
Ok, guys, I think im done, I made a panle , like i think is sold in japan or somthing.. But to replace my plate cover.. and now im moving my plate. Iv been thinking about dif places to put and idears.. I was thinking just in the middle of my bumper, or, i was thinking of getting the folding plate hindge (the make for low-rider trucks) and then just mounting to that, for what ever reason.. heres my first idea, im still looking into the other, let me know if you have any other better idears, or better usgestions.. heres a quick pic of what it could look like, (thanks for whom evers car that is, sorry i forgot who, but its so freaking hot, an very plain)

You could try to do something like this:

Easier said than done though...it looks like it'd be kinda tough. But if you go this route, you can still have license plate lights, which you need. I've been pulled over for having one(yes, one out of two...the other still worked) license plate light out.

New Toyota project coming soon...

Looks good, but like you said, it still needs a bit more work. >wink.gif>

I've found that Rage Gold sands exceptionally well if you need to go buy some body filler, and it helps to use black primer sometimes because it really brings out the flaws in your work. >smile.gif>

Yeah the paint i used, was pretty much primer, it was a black matt cover or somthing for grills.. (what ever) .. but I took it off, an brought it back in the garage, and am for the first time, looking at the orig. to check were needs work, and am makeing it curved instead of flat.. so hopfully by tonight, it will be better/done..

Also for the small holes an things.. I have glazing puddy, that stuff rules... my buddy just told me about it.. as I spent about total of 4-5 hours, making lil batches an trying to fill in the holes an sand down..
