Doesn't matter to me, if we do custom licence plate frame, we need some nice plates, not those crappy mirror finished ones that rust once it rains...or anything that looks stupid...we should get CF licence plate frame with our logo in vinyl...yeah....CF....

or we can just do a decal and put it on windshield or rear windshield, or on fender, or on door, or on side windows...

Yup, those decals at the back you can just pick at. If its a solid one, either leave your Fit outside in the sun on a hot day, then pick at a corner and pull it right off, or use a heat gun. If you have the vinyl type, it takes a little more effort as it tends to break off as you peel...same idea, just takes more time...another method is to go to a pressure washing car wash and then use a buck and put it right up against the decal. It'll come right off. Might have some glue residue, just use some Goo-Gone and apply it over the residue, let it sit, then wipe it off.

I have been meaning to take my dealer sticker off for a while, it looks like a major pain. They suggested using a hair dryer on it to loosen up the glue and then peeling it off. Oh the fun

A CF plate frame with decal sounds pretty cool... would sure look a lot nicer than the dealer plate frame How much do those run anyway?

I dunno, a real CF plate is at least $40 bucks...at least...mb we can get discount if we do a GB Anyone interested? Or stick with decals?

I like the 403 gd3 idea too, but if i had to make a suggestion or personal preference, make them small, a subtle decal goes a long way.
