I like the idea enough. But it would be all about how well you can execute this. It would make a nice original customization. What'll you do with the license plate?

I also like the idea but like Junior car said what would you do with the plate? it looks good without the gap for the tag being there but where would you mount it then?

Lol... Sorry, forgot to mention that.. Theier is a cool thing out there I'm sure a lot of you have seen... It's a REMOTE licence plate tray, when you use a FOB, the plate with come out from under the car, hit the remote again, and it retracts to under the car.. On some of the websites I've seen, they run about $125-$150 each. I am also installing one on the front. They also have manual ones to use, no FOB, have to pull it out from its storage position, and then manually retract it under the car.. I actually seen seen these on eBay for under $100, but don't know how well made they are... Mj

I like it.. Minus the reverse lights. I'm not sure how you'd get them to go all the way across like that. maybe some aftermarket lights underneath or something would be better. Cool idea though :thumsbup:

i forgot to add what i am trying to do as well as not gonna do.... the back up lights will not go across, it will just appear that they r... the license plate will re track with a FOB they sell em on the bay...but the BU lights are still there... they are tinted black now...hate the looks of a license plate bracket, indent, placard etc....so this is one way i am going to get rid of it... i have about 10 diff designs right now, am am trying to get feedback before i make any cuts and changes to the bumper cover (thats why im looking for one that has a lil damage or so, so i dont mess up a good one) thats my plan... I WILL get rid of the plate "BOX" somehow..... thanks guys... Michael//// Ill post other styles tomorrow.....

Would definitely get some attention! I like it. It's not gawdy, but it's clearly custom.
