Got tired of blurring my plates when I take pics of my car

So I made a rear plate to use when taking pics





UPDATE: INSTALLED (it may look crooked but that's because I have to have these little plastic pieces that the screws screw into (cheap Chrysler stuff I guess).

So you're gonna take 5mins to go outside and change your plates rather than 2seconds to blurr your plates with paint, photoshop or any image program??

1) Looks better than a mosaic
2) Personalized
3) If I take multiple pictures, I don't have to blur multiple plates
4) If/When I show at NOPI 2006 or any other show (when I get more stuff done to my Sebring of course) I can put that plate on too.

So.... yes

And I have a cordless drill.. 2 seconds to take the old plate off and 2 seconds to put the new one on. Where do you get 5 minutes from?

That's pretty neat and I think it is a good idea! How did you make it?

just use a piece of white paper and fold it to fit...simple and easy...especially at car shows when everyone is taking pics and will not care about blurring your plate out...

Drew it up in CAD and cut it out on the CNC laser I work on.
Total cost: free (steel was scrap leftover)
Total time: 5mins to take measurements and draw/2 mins to cut/2 coats of paint (free)

Felkajamine's seen my baby (the laser)

That's a good idea. Looks great for shows I agree.

What you should have done is attached some magnets to it. Then all you have to do is set it on top of your old plate .
