Any interest in machined aluminum front license plate fillers? UPDATE CAD PHOTOS 3/15
The recessed front license plate area in the stock B14 front bumper has always bothered me. I have access to a CNC, and I was thinking it might be pretty cool to machine some filler plates from aluminum with words in them.

I could probably make the words raised, recessed, or cut through. It could say anything, like sr20-forum.com, SE-R, Turbo, SR20 Powered, ect.

What do you guys think? I know I am going to make at least one for myself. I could keep the cost relatively low, but it would probably be over 25 or 30 bucks each, mostly because aluminum plate is expensive. Ill try to get around to drawing up some 3D models for you guys.

Isn't this spot ugly? looks like something is missing:





EDIT: here are some solidworks models I threw together, just to give you guys an idea. Cut through looks a little silly with any stencil style letters. Just etching is probably the way to go. I'll play around with a few things and see what I can come up with. Does anyone know what font the forum logo is?

So do you want one? Quite a few states don't require front tags

hmm, not a bad idea. I wonder if bondo would be a good solution.

I'm pretty sure the bumper skin is way too flexible and would crack in no time

Main reason I have NEVER liked that bumper.

how about some brackets to use ad22 calipers with bigger rotors instead?

Yeah just like the brackets that Fastbrakes already makes..........

i don't really feel that the fastbrakes product is priced properly, considering it's nothing more than 2 brackets 2 rotors 4 nuts and 4 bolts

espically when for a bit more than twice the price you can get a kit with a pair of 4 piston wilwoods, pads, rotors, stainless lines, brackets and bolts

a great price on a great product but for the average person that drives on the street, overkill
