Default New vanity plates

I wondered why my Son wanted pictures of my classic's a month ago. Since he is a graphic artist at a tee/novelty store I was guessing tee for sure. When I saw these plates I was very impressed with the layout and clarity. My question to you guys is, would you display them on dash or mount them to the front bumper. Thanks for weighing in.

I personally don't like a plate on the front, but, IF I put it on the front of my car I would put a piece of plexi glass or similar over it. They look very nice and it is a very thoughtful gift.

Ask your son where he would like to see them. Make his day...

I think the front bumper seeing as it was designed for a plate there anyway. The dash looks a little unkempt or random.

They really look great! Your son did a real nice job.

I would love to have one on my car but here in Jersey, classic or not, you need a front plate.

A lot of guys don't keep one on their classic's.... but I know my luck.

Enjoy.
