Does Nor just do CA plates? Looks like excellent work.

Any plate you want. I have had him make 4 different MN plate pairs for me with as many revisions as needed to get it exactly right (at no extra charge). Comes to about $25 a pair with shipping. Does excellent work and the slotted holes vs. round holes is no big deal (about as a big of a deal as the embossment being an illusion vs. stamped into the plate).

The Washington plates he did for me were spot on.

I just got word back from Nor and he's not able to do an Idaho plate that I was looking for. Must be for better known states then.

Greg, do you have a photo of the plate you need? If you supply a photo he can usually match the font and color from that. That is how I got the plate below made. It is not perfect, but unless you have them side by side, the reproduction will look fine.

I was going to add the same suggestion. I had a pretty tough photo of a plate he's made a replica of for me and he did a good job with it suiting my needs. We must have gone back and forth a dozen times or more with me asking him to tweak this and that re: the colors and he never once got frustrated (as far as I could tell) or told me to take a hike. Same low price too.
