If you can find the good blank ones a trophy shop will be able to screen whatever text and font you want on to the plate.

Don't believe I have ever seen the "Clifford" button before. What does it do? Ejector seat?

I haven't seen a blank version of those yet, maybe you could request that one of the parts vendors that sells these to ask their supplier(s) to leave one blank for you.

I'm not sure which style they are but you might try Trim Parts, Inc. (513) 831-1472 In Milford Ohio. I bought a console shift plate from them a couple of years ago and got a coupon for a free data plate. The list were all available engine/hp combos, but they also offered a blank data plate, part #5922.
