A little back history...
For the CB7 meet earlier this year in Tennessee I made a front plate for my girl's '91 EX. It was a quick job but it served the purpose. Here's a pic of the old one... note the paint is in bad shape because we just threw one coat of black paint on it when we did it with no clear:
Here's the new one I made for my CB7. This one I have 3 coats of black and 2 coats of clear. Hopefully this one will fare better to the elements. If it doesn't I'll just get it powdercoated like I did the one I made for my old Camry. It's longer than a license plate and no where near as tall... but not wide enough to be considered "biting" German plates since it is a Japanese car:
For comparison... here are the two side by side:
Let me know what you think
Oh, I forgot to add I'm going to have a backing plate the same shape painted the same color as my car... so the plate is black and the letters will be the same red as my Accord.
