Nice mod, but isn't that illegal in California? I think they'll allow the flowers though.






Where did you get the letters? I just ordered some new one's on Friday.

The symbols are only availalable on the "kids" plate series. So if I wanted the hand, I had to take the poppies.

I saw a similar plate the other day on a Viper (after I had ordered mine of course).

Aren't poppies a "useful" flower? I believe they are!

Just got the letters on eBay - real die-cut stainless steel inserts. Front and rear were about $75 shipped.

Probably the same ones I ordered. I paid $38 for just the rear. How's the quality? Are they sticking good so far? They look nice.

Thanks
