how often do you think you will get pulled over??? Adds a nice touch to the car! Do you have any shots from further out?

I dont think I will have a problem getting pulled over, Tucson police arnt that strict on things like this..But if I do I will let you know,,we dont have a front license law and people use those neon license plate frames all the time.

sounds like you get to use it way more often though, I can only get away with it when im at a meet or really small place, it attracts cops like cats to old ladies.

[Oyabun]

Damb!!!:smiley: I got mine on FLEE BAY!! 2 for $300 from Thailand. Got them in 4 days!!!! :thumbsup: May sell the other but don't know yet!!!

[zion_97]

Damn you got a good deal.. me and Mikey got them both for $500, but we got different plate numbers,,which is cool so were not exactly the same.I dont trust international sellers from ebay as I had bad luck with them in the past..I actually had a close friend/relative pic them up at a used VIP shop in JP..so I new I would get it for sure..but shit man good for you. It took about 2.5 weeks for us to get ours..

I think you should sell it to someone around here..1) YOu cant use but one 2) Its hard to get these plates and I am sure there are folk on this forum that would love to get one of these plates...gots to hook up our VIP bros around here....lol.
Peace

[Dajap]

I never got pulled over at all and I had it on all the time at night. I'm also in FL. so I don't know what your laws are.... I sold my pair I had for $400, that included front and back plates with matching rear aluminum seal. I miss them but I wasn't about to put holes into my spirits bumper.

[zion_97]

Saw this on Ebay..I am not affiliated or know this person. I am not responcable if someone bids and gets scammed...buyer beware international seller...After hearing the price that Oyabun paid I started lookin and searching on ebay and found this..it is not as nice as a deal that you got and more along the lines of what I paid but if any one is looking to buy one here is the link...I personlly do not do business with internationl sellers or bidders. I have have bad luck in the past so buy beware..looks like you would be paying about $300 shipped from the item decription...

If you guys want the premium EL backlighting let me know...makes for much more even light dispersal.

Pm me or post a pic..I may be intereseted..I was thinking of doing a LED swap.

[UcanTry]

Aahhman there was one more available I got two but the other one been sold..I had it in the forsale section for a month now..you did not see it?

no i saw it, but if i run that it VA its a ticket just not having a front plate and with the lights on top of that, im sure its just a ticket waiting to happen......here in VA there 2 big things cop hate, no front and tint

[Dajap]

EL backing is way better but is sooo hard to get a hold of. If I were going to get another one I would want it to have like ...1 or 11-11 the typical vip crowd plate numbers. That would be near impossible though i'm sure.

[RaCinStylez]

badass, maybe later on I will try and score one...

does anyone know if it's ok to modify your REAL license plate to do that? I have the skills todo that but don't want to start cutting up my license plate and get in trouble. Looks sweet though.

[zion_97]

I would honestly say to call your local mvd and ask them or do it and the worst that will happen will be a warrning ticket if you take it off..I would imagine like window tint..

[the_wise_fool]

That's really neat. It def. is a nice touch.

[elpresidente]

Here is what the EL ones look like.

YEah I have seen those arnt they for the newer stlye ones..the thiner light box? I was also thinking about just wiring in either super bright white LEDS or The Super Brght Green LEDs...they sell those panerls and I think it would be hella lot brighter and cheaper than to try to get those from JP..

No, the ones you are reffering to are the optional premiums issued by the land office. These are for the regular style as an update item.

The problem with running those LED's is having concentrations of lights in certain areas while others will appear darker making the lighting un-uniform.

[crxgames]

Anyone know if it's legal to do this to your license plate in the US?

[Tito_tC]

how do you installed it

[zion_97]

I just used piggy back clamps to the parking lights.

[Oyabun]

I just wired mine like a set of fog lights. I can turn them on or off when needed!!

[zion_97]

Aaah I just noticed My orignal pics was missing...

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/2351938_81_full.jpg

[crxgames]

Does anyone know how legal, if at all, this would be in the US? I mean, it doesn't seem like it'd harm visibility if done right...

I say if you can do it doit.. the worst that will happen is a warrning and ask to take it off..

[gato]

i would like to get something like this for show

[Yokotas13]

tama land office wont do requests on any plates for Y plates

[thearkitekt]

you could make one using these sheets and a ebay plastic plate. http://www.beingseen.com/sheets.html

[NisAznMonk]

This is actually popular? That stuff is all over okinawan junkyards.

[Yokotas13]

get some and sell it

[JLz1]

thats pretty amazing stuff =O looks hot
bit too expensive but what a final effect...

[19psi]

wow i love it. i've seen them before, but i could never find any to buy even on fleabay...
wow, they're expensive too! oh well, nobody said it was cheap....

[elpresidente]

Hahaha, anyone see this? Glow in the dark plates:

Saw those!!LOL!! Those are hillarious!!!!

[Yokotas13]

BTW the EL update is now illegal in japan
the Tachikawa/tama land office took mine back saying they arent allowed anymore, and i have to use the old style

Can either of you guys still acquire these? I am sure they'd sell like hotcakes here on the site.

[zion_97]

Problem is they are expensive and not everybody wants to pay $250 + for them..I had a source for them and only one person bought one...most folks that I know who have them have all paid around the same price including me...:shrug:

[wicked_limitz]

thats sweet. where can i order one besides egay?

[Oyabun]

I'm working on it!!! Got a buddy in Okinawa who's looking for car parts!! Asked him to look for the illuminated plates!! He'll be back in early Oct. I'll post up if he's able to get'em!!!!

[zion_97]

I can still get them but $$ talks..and first come first serve..I just had gotten a few more and sold them..everytime I post them seems like folks show a lot of interest untill they find out the price...then they dont want them..:shrug: ....for the folks that are interested in purchasing one..PM only if you are serious...the prices I can ususally get them for are $250-$265..depending on condiition...but like I said only serious buyers..

These plates are still hard to come by in Japan and even cost more in Japan for the selected few that will pay the price...

[Oyabun]

My Buddy's going throught the junkyards and say's there are ton's of them there!! Pretty much for the taking!!!

[zion_97]

good luck!

[Oyabun]

Kinda have the feeling it's gonna fall through though:pat:

[elpresidente]

They're actually not as rare you they're made out to be. I mean obviously there are less of them than standard plates, but they aren't exactly a diamond in the rough either.

[Yokotas13]

the EL cost 200.00
i paid for htem, the the base woudlnt let me get them after they said i could
so i got a refund

[bippU!]

i want one too, but i wanna pay only for the okinawa junkyard price! what is that, like $50.00 USD w/packaging, shipping, handling and foriegn tax. . . . . ;)
BTW, please dont add any other charges to that. lol. j/k

i would like to get a yokohama plate w/50-50 w/seal.

[zion_97]

I know that you guys want to pay cheap but ask anyone around here that actually has one in the states..They all have paid a pretty penny.

Here I found this on ebay.
maybe this fool will part them out..good luck though!

but once again who is going to dish out the money for this?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????..

not only that its not the correct plate # for large sedans..you need 300 + for large sedans..this plate is for a smaller car...

[crxgames]

Somewhat off topic, but some what related:
Can anyone explain to me the reason for the large desire for 1-0, 1-1 style license plates? Also, is there anything specific about the 50-50? I've never been able to find any info on this.

They can't really get "custom" plates. But the do have a lottery system for winning certain numbers or sets of numbers.

and doesnt that cost $$$$$

[bippU!]

"50/50" is one of the good omen numbers in japan, if yur superstitious. ;)

okay, im willing to pay $200.00 ;)

[vip_baller250]

WHAT???!!!! Looks so nice. Where did you pick these up? Ive noticed a lot of people saying that they got them on eBay but im not the biggest eBay fan.

[RocKrawler]

Very cool stuff, didnt even know these existed. I'm lovin this site!

[Damicci]

If you know someone in Japan with a vehicle supposedly they are not that expensive. A friend told me, his was like $60 like ￥8,000。 Could be different depending on the car though.

[NisAznMonk]

I live in okinawa and I can ship stuff back via USPS easily. If you are really wanting one of these things (or anything JDM I suppose) just PM me. I'll check it out on the weekends and let you know the prices and so forth. Hell I've got to go find me a set of Buddy Club rims anyways.

[bippU!]

i would like to get a yokohama plate w/50-50 w/seal.

well, like i stated on post #56, i finally got mine!
i got the "Kobe" plate from a good friend of mine. after putting up his bB up for sale, he had these stashed in a room temperature closet. Lol.

the plates are in immaculate condition, for being the old "bulb" style plates. the "green" plastic numbers are in great contion as well. i dont think that i will update the plates to "EL" type. i'll keep it OEM instead.

i perfer the "KANTO" plates from either TOKYO or YOKOHAMA, since i was born in Tokyo, but the "KANSAI" plate from KOBE will suffice for now.
now i gotta call MOONEYES and see if they have any seals left.

BTW, one of the pic with the plate illuminated, is lit by a weak battery.

I never saw those till now but what about those Nissan Windshield stickers they used to rock in the British Super Touring cup on Speed Vision a few years ago? Anyone seen those before? They light up just as good as these plates.
