Default Looking for a front license plate frame

My CHP car lost its front license plate frame prior to coming home with me last October. It's not a big deal in Delaware, cuz we are only required to run a rear licesne plate on our motor vehicles. But I'd like to get the duplicate California license plates while the CHP had it, and mount one up front. So I need a frame - anybody have one?

I was recently told about this place for the plates -

Has anybody dealt with this outfit before?

Hello,

I bought from them this past December replica Missouri State Highway Patrol Plates for my 93. Here's a link...

http://public.fotki.com/MOstang/must...hpplates2.html

Was very pleased with the quality, but price was pretty steep...without looking up my receipt believe it was about $250 or so for them. Again I was very happy with the quality, though.

I have heard of some people who have purchased from them and haven't been pleased with the colors, but as for my Missouri one no problem from that perspective.

It worked out good for me as Mustang Retriever had already bought his from them (they didn't have what I needed listed on the website) so all I needed to do was give them his name and they looked up his order. Used same specs but just changed the number on the plate.

Hope that helps.

Bill, I also ordered plates for my Missouri car from them. They came out great but dig deep in that wallet. Be certain that both you and the people at the company know and agree on exactly what is to be produced. Once made - they are yours! good or bad. Good luck.

He has a pretty decent product, probably the best out there right now. I bought them for my car before he really jacked the prices up and recall I only paid about $100 for the set back in 2004. Be advised that his CA exempt plates are not 100% accurate - they shouldn't have registration sticker wells embossed into them.

He has them without the embossed area. Check out Jarhed's old FHP. Like Gregg said you need to tell them EXACTLY what you want.

Default California Exempt licence plates

I contacted Jerry at http://www.licenseplates.tv/ and he said that the Cal E plates do not have a recession for the stickers. Jerry stated that the plates might have been a error made with the recessions for the stickers. Jerry said he can produce the E plate with the recessions but it will not be correct. I am going to look at a CHP car today and will reply to the posting. Rich

Yeah, I had one of their plates on my FFR Cobra replica. Not as 'thick' metal as an original, but still a very nice quality. Only bad thing I can say, they're kinda pricey - but hey - it allows you to customize the plate to your preference.

I put the word out on a local forum here in OH. We are suppose to have front plates here, but most people with sports cars do not. If I can get one I will let you know...hopefully I can get it for free and just ship it to you.

Mike, I have the platemaisters owner's personal phone number if you want to see if he can work anything out with the sight members.
